drawing VS react-native-windows

recently i went looking for a (slightly more featureful) mspaint.exe replacement for linux and found https://maoschanz.github.io/drawing/ to be serviceable.

There is also Drawing, but I think it has no options to set compression parameters for e.g. jpeg.

Drawing fits that description, but it isn't really comparable to Krita — the authors describe it as like MS Paint but for Gnome.

Pinta seems similar, but more Xfce-ish.

Me parece muito com o Drawing. https://maoschanz.github.io/drawing/

I use Drawing, which is great for the job.

I like Drawing for basic stuff resizing, cropping, rotating etc... Krita for more complex stuff.

Microsoft is using React Native for Windows [0] for their Office applications [1]. As a fan of RN this would be the first avenue I’d explore if I had to develop something for Windows.

There's also MAUI (.NET) and React Native desktop.

Sometimes yeah they can become a real pain in the a$$. With RN you can make good looking and dynamic layouts with minimum effort. On the other hand when trying to implement logic my main and continuous issues I am facing is with the async parts . Apart from I am all in for RN . I am going to give it a try for a windows app with https://microsoft.github.io/react-native-windows .And if it works fine (which means you get your self away from C#) it will be a really powerful tool for me .

You can read more about it here: https://microsoft.github.io/react-native-windows/

at Microsoft, it's used a lot for brownfield scenarios, similar to react-native-windows: https://github.com/microsoft/react-native-windows

you sound more like a zealot than someone trying to make a point. you can deploy to desktop with react native and have been able to for years now, courtesy of Microsoft: https://microsoft.github.io/react-native-windows/
