High Value Apps are Moving to the Desktop
Developers, designers and others whose day job is spent using a professional desktop operating system are demanding more than having their apps trapped in browser tabs. We'll talk about how high value apps such as Slack, Microsoft Visual Studio Code, Brave browser are using web technologies but run on the desktop. We'll talk a bit about the tech (Electron.js and friends) but the focus will be on the usability, value, and what this trend means.
