RN desktop support is weak. But your mobile apps will work quite differently to your desktop apps anyway. And you probably want something that can run on the web too. So for desktop you just put your web app in Electron.

The difference between mobile and web will mean having to implement different routing and components, but you can share a lot of code.

Flutter is the new kid on the block.

You can see the final result in the react-native-universal-monorepo GitHub repository.

For the sake of simplicity, code is written in plain JavaScript. Still, you can add support for TypeScript if needed (you can use the React Native Universal Monorepo as an example; it's written in TypeScript).

Create React App (https://create-react-app.dev/)

- And ofc, there are some templates/frameworks that bring something of that together (https://create-react-app.dev/; maybe https://vitejs.dev/) - google for templates.

I recommend finding some friend with modern experience or at least some youtube tutorials or at least some learning course. That would help you to catch up on the best way to bootstrap your first project. Then you can practice.

What's the connection?
