I'd say Android is already worse. It uses more ram and resources to run smoothly than Windows does. Especially now that Microsoft is actively trying to speed up Windows 11 and make it use less resources.

Haha and not true. You would need to provide objectively more than your experience. And for an example clicking on Android Contacts would be instant vs load time in Windows 11 (the one i have).

Did you try to scroll the list tho?

(Did they fix that whole "store contacts in a linked list" problem in Android already?)

That's a different axis from spaghettiness.

Kestrel is more performant under Windows than Linux, but the container support isn't there

This is incorrect, all benchmarks including those from Microsoft have proven 10%-30% performance increase under Linux.

Here is Microsoft official ones, Linux beats out Windows in almost every metric.

It shouldn't be shocking SMB is very fast and more secure than NFS. Hell it supports running over quic now

AI build out is just a way for cloud providers to keep customers since you can't get hardware for your own on-prem setup

Just make sure to release it on Windows, There are more installed copies of Win 10 amd Win 11 than all iOS, MacOS, OSx systems combined

Unfortunately I have time to build only the software that I need, and I'm a Mac user. If I'd do a cross platform version it will end up like the other crappy cross platform apps out there.

It’s written in Swift and uses SwiftUI and UIKit and AppKit.

Seriously, what the hell are you talking about and why.

I encourage you to take a crack at it!

This is awesome. Love seeing projects like this.

Great job, these are the apps we need to see. Native Windows apps.

Thanks!

I will definitely keep plugging at this :)

(Nothing against Mac as such, let's see if I will have bandwidth for a port at some point).

I would be very interested in a Mac port, esp. if it was Arm-native (I need an excuse for getting a new Mac....)

The biggest issue in my opinion is that Microsoft is chasing web devs. XAML is pita, just like css and html markup. They need to pick a lane and just use it. Allow other frameworks access to the default low level api such as Win32, but document it to the same level as Google does on Android and Apple with SwiftUI

I actually like the idea of GUIs being represented in a markup (whether that be XML, QML, GNOMEs new Blueprint (which is kinda a markup language I think?) but I also thought display postscript was elegant so maybe I'm backing the wrong horse

I think the whole world sails on that ship and MSFT just wants to catch up. Their most darling developer tools since 10 years ago are mostly by web and for web: Typescript, VSCode.

It's that Nadella doesn't really care about Windows, even though the kernel is the root of Azure. In addition, all the newer gui frameworks abandoned RAD interface. That is what made and still does make Winforms and WPF popular.
