To start:
Another tool for artists.
Want to make it cross platform so going to learn electron... See how it goes

Don't have money to buy QT and would like to sell this product in the end so don't really want to open source it... :(

No electron again </3
Why not just Vulcan? :D
Seriously there is so oooo mannnyyyy gui framework man, and qt is a last resort solution too btw.
What language do you want to use?

@Celes well was going to wpf it just cause of using used in past but yeah not sure. Haven't done c++ in forever so that's kind of out of the question, c# or Python I guess.

Thinking electron just cause I wanted a good framework for web since that web would be easy cross platform but don't want to have to worry about weird browser diff

@TEvashkevich if you're going to do a desktop application, we'll try to not use web technology, that's just the easy but bad way of doing things.

So I'll recommend c# over python for performance. But cross plate-forme mean mono, so take a look here I guess : http://mono-project.com/docs/gui/

Think about python if you don't like any c# mono framework, that would be my opinion.

Well if in the end you really go with electron, good luck, but curses you to destroy desktop applications world :'(

@Celes destroy desktop app world? Why's that

@TEvashkevich because you encourage, basically, using those huge do anything technologies build for huge and do anything browser (why the hell my browser do window management? Seriously...) .

Use something which really fit your needs, with no overhead. That's something people forgot thanks to those things.

Does fit my needs really. Want something that doesn't require a lot of effort from the user to get installed and get going, while also allowing me to present nicely on different platforms.

I wasn't thinking of mono as I thought it was also paid to distribute? But might have to check again.

@TEvashkevich mono is open source and free. Even xamarin (mono mobile) is free.
And yes I know that's an easy solution, that won't work otherwise xp

@Celes I think I'm still looking at electron just as a reason to learn web dev stuff too as I've avoided it forever.

@Jop- haven't looked yet and haven't heard of it before
