If you were going to make a cross platform app... what language/framework would you pick and why? Asking for a friend.

Javascript 😂

*Java works on more than 3 billion devices* Buy licence now at oracle dot com! [This is a joke]

What kind of app and what platforms ?

If the app is a basic mobile frontend i would recommend react-native, or just build a web app (this lets you reuse alot of it for a normal web version as well)

If it is a game i would recommend unity or unreal.

If it is a desktop app i'd go with QT or GTK.

If it is a server thingy i would look at .net core or java (or just plain old C and build for linux first since everything you use will be available on other platforms then)

Probably Electron and React or VueJS or Eto and dotnet

@Alice Jokes on them, if you ever urinated in fire, you know how bad that smells. It will take ages to get that our of their clothes..

@Alice I’ll be dead so I’ll give less than zero fucks and I’ll just skull fuck them in their sleep as a piss soaked ghost.

Seriously though, if you weren’t a dev shop and just a single dev making an app to support a company that isn’t dev related and don’t have the time or money to maintain separate platform specific apps, what solution do you suggest?

@ItsNotMyFault I was thinking a web app with native wrappers to access basic phone functions like you said.. otherwise thinking ‘progressive’ web app.

@M1sf3t Thanks for reminding me about that!
I looked into Firebase a while ago while working for an old company. Seemed promising.. I think amazon was doing something similar too.
