Best way to develop a Windows and MacOS desktop app for someone used to C# and Winforms

• Uno Platform

  130 8,363 10.0 C#

  Build Mobile, Desktop and WebAssembly apps with C# and XAML. Today. Open source and professionally supported.

  

For C#, MAUI certainly seems like the perfect solution, but it won't release any time soon, there's only Xamarin which doesn't seem to support MacOS. I've checked UNO and Avalonia, but I'm not sure about them.

• Electron.NET

  25 7,103 5.9 C#

  :electron: Build cross platform desktop apps with ASP.NET Core (Razor Pages, MVC, Blazor).

  

that said, C# has it's own Electron version called Electron.NET meaning you can build a regular ASP.NET Core app and have the frontend in web tech which honestly is a bit easier to work with from a "components ready made"-perspective than most WinForms/WPF-alternatives.
