I almost skipped building desktop apps... until I realized this

Most of the hype lately is around AI, web tools, and mobile-first everything. But I keep noticing a growing number of small, focused desktop apps especially for productivity, dev tools and utilities.

Maybe it's just the niche I'm in, but people seem more open to native tools again. Performance, offline access, cleaner UX, better keyboard support stuff that's still hard to replicate in a browser.
I’ve been building one myself recently, and honestly, it’s been refreshing. No browser quirks, no CSS gymnastics, no worrying about five different viewport breakpoints. Just focusing on the actual experience.

Is it just me? Or are you seeing this shift too?
Curious if anyone else here is building or using more desktop-native tools lately 🙂
