Why Desktop Apps in 2025? Because the Web Isn’t Everything Let’s be honest—we all love JavaScript. It’s everywhere. You can build web apps, mobile apps, CLI tools, and even smart toasters with it (probably). But there’s one frontier that sometimes feels left behind: the desktop. Sure, you could argue that web apps are sufficient, but there’s something satisfying about shipping a native-looking application that works offline, has real file system access, and doesn’t require users to open yet another browser tab....

When I first launched my startup, I had a vision so clear I could practically taste it. Six months later, that vision tasted more like ash.

The coffee machine at your office has seen better days. The free snacks are running low again. Someone’s posted another screenshot of a layoff email in the Slack channel, and suddenly everyone’s looking a little nervous. You’re scrolling through your feed and spot yet another article about tech workers unionizing, and you think: Is this actually happening? Will I be picketing outside headquarters next year?
