Why aren't devs making desktop apps any more
I just founded a company where we're building a cross-platform native desktop app. Perhaps given we're on HN we can scope this to ask why aren't any _startups_ building native desktop apps?
It's something I wonder about as well. We're building real-time performance critical software, so we don't have much of an alternative. Given these constraints, we also ruled out Electron, Avalonia, React Native early on.
We're using Qt Quick which doesn't get nearly the love it should. I was a web developer for 5 years in a past life, and I'm pretty blown away by how pleasant and well-designed Qt Quick's QML language is. One of our team members created Canonic, https://www.canonic.com to explore how the web might look if QML was used as the document markup for the web.
The popular opinion around Qt Quick is that it is best suited for mobile or embedded projects with a dynamic UI, animations, etc. But over the last few years, it has really become a great desktop solution – to the point where Qt put Widgets into maintenance mode and is focusing efforts on Qt Quick across desktop, mobile and embedded targets.
With Qt 6, the GUI is drawn using native graphics acceleration: Metal on macOS, DirectX11 on Windows, Vulkan on Linux. This makes it really easy to bring in a texture you're drawing in some other piece of code outside of Qt. As a result, the QtMultimedia framework in Qt6 is zero-copy on most platforms with the FFmpeg backend. Frames get decoded if a GPU HW decoder is available, then this texture can be read directly by QtQuick and then rendered by the display server without ever being copied. I don't think there's a single other cross platform framework out there that achieves the same level of usability, performance and easy access to platform native APIs.
Here are just a few non-trivial desktop apps that come to mind using Qt Quick:

- Mark Nottingham: Server-Sent Events, WebSockets, and HTTP

I heard you like browsers. So I built a browser that runs in your browser via WASM (for QML instead of HTML)
Here's the website if you want to test it out: https://www.canonic.com

A Response to Rich Harris
No, the end goal is to have an entirely separate browser which browses website built with all instead of html / js / css ; since Qt compiles to WASM it's a simple way to try it but the actual thing exists as a standalone desktop app: https://github.com/canonic/canonic

My blog post workflow
I manage my non-work and work-adjacent tasks in Notion. Whenever I have an idea, regardless of how big or small or silly or achievable it is, I'll add it to Notion, and use labels to categorise it by type of output (e.g. blog, silly project, website update). Today I wanted to write a short post for my site. I clicked on the filtered blog post view, and selected this one (because I hoped it would be a quick one!).

UI frameworks are stuck in the last decade
I work on a large SPA: https://notion.so
It’s a document editing application. A document title might occur in the browser’s titlebar, in the header of the main editor, in a “mention” (a link to the document), and in multiple places in the user’s sidebar - like in both their “Favorites” section and in the the contents of their team.
When the user edits the document title, we need to update all those UI bits to render the new title. I have a hard time imagining some imperative code that iterates over all the possible views that may render a title to mutate them.

Organizing and Rolling Probability Matrixes in Notion
I think Notion (notion.so) is a good tool for managing Captain's Log games (and RPG games in general) but there is a bit of a learning curve. If there is interest, I would consider writing a more detailed tutorial on how to use Notion for Captains Log (as I figure the game out). I'd also recommend Thomas Frank's website and youtube channel for tutorials on how to use Notion.

Choosing the name for your startup - how important is the .com domain in 2023?
my personal thoughts: regardless of how many people prefer not to believe it, and the fact that some startups do use non-dotcom (Notion owns notion.com by the way, but still redirects to notion.so - i suspect it's because it's too much of a hassle to do so rather than .so being their preferred TLD), the truth is that the .com still has a certain brand allure to it to mainstream consumers. personally i paid 10k for my startup's .com even though the other TLDs were cheap as hell (which i also bought anyway). i thought it was crazy expensive, but i still felt it was money well spent for the branding.
