Sad again about how single window applications are the norm. So much screen real estate wasted and so much multitasking limited just cause the app decided it should handle tabs / views and only let you load a single window.
@mauve yeah this annoys me very much with desktop mastodon apps. I want to spread columns on multiple screens without having a column getting split in the middle.
@skryking Every time I look at cross platform GUI toolkits I get sad. Seems that Electron / Tauri are the most accessivle cross platform with their web stuff, followed by QT with decent reach but complex SDK setup.
@mauve tauri says it will do multiwindow, I'll give it a tinker.
@mauve I've been playing with the mastodon api and thinking about writing my own client. I haven't done much desktop development so not really sure where to go with that. Is there a decent cross os library for gui development that would allow multiple window development? I pick up languages relatively fast so that's not a huge issue.
