       Ask HN: How to build a desktop app in 2022
        
       I have a personal project I've been working on that is a desktop
       app with a UI that has some fairly complex data visualizations.
       I've been using Electron because I know JS well and can leverage
       D3.  The problem I'm facing is that I sometimes go for months
       without working on it, and it feels like everyone I start up I'm
       running into some dumb JS/TS/Electron ecosystem issue that takes me
       a few hours to debug (if I don't just give up first.)  What are
       some good modern tools/frameworks for building native Desktop apps?
       Bonus points for cross-platform support.
