best libraries for a journalling app (windows only)
Cross-platform was the initial reason I tried it. I had a compled WPF application that I wanted to run in an embedded scenario. I couldn't understand the embedded Windows licensing situation, so decided to try some other options.
Started rewriting in Qt, but found it hard (I hadn't used Qt since QWidgets and it had changed to QML).
I then found Avalonia and spent a few hours porting the most complex custom controls. It all worked! The most I played with it, the more I enjoyed the experience. My app could be run on macOS and Linux while reusing a huge amount of code.
