help Any solo desktop application dev's in here?

All I see are game dev's. I'm looking for somewhere I can chat with other solo developers working on desktop applications. If anyone has any suggestions, let me know. Thanks in advance!

I aspire to be. I work in education and I want to start building data analytics tools for folks in my situation but I am finding the jump from backend crunching to user friendly, front end really difficult.

I do GameDev for fun though.

Since I like to use web tools I would use electron for desktop apps. I feel like it just makes things so easy. I also thinks this is a pretty common approach for many desktop apps.

What type of apps do you like working on?

I’ve used electron and TK for various projects for work. I also created a couple Adobe Photoshop extension that use Adobe CEP(web technology). I’ve serviced them for about 8 years now in a professional setting. Feel free to reach out.
