Deciding on a tech stack for internal tools
Hello. Looking to see if I can get some advice on where to start
I’m looking to build some internal tools for my job. I’m experienced react/node dev, but would like to get more into the C# world.
I work in manufacturing and we eventually need a suite of tools that we can use both on site, and remotely. I have been looking at blazer and Maui , but unsure which way to go.
Ideally I’d like to be able to deploy an application others can download and use, but I’m not opposed to a web based application either, as long as it can be accessed remotely via a VPN
The things I’m concerned with regarding building an application are about are application deployment (I’m unfamiliar with signing applications), and updates
Since this is intended to be internal tools I don’t want to have to upload to the ms store.
I’d love for users to be able to just install via an installer they download from our server.
Some help and advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Depends on the usage and required features. From the short text it sounds like you would need a client that connects to an API. For mobile apps check out Maui. For web apps check out Angular (typescript). For backend stuff look at .NET and Microsoft SQL server for databases. Not sure about windows apps since ive never done one but look at windows forms
