#2I took the macOS .dmg,
extracted the web app inside it,
Did some patches for Windows
and rebuilt it inside a fresh Electron shell.
Then compiled it for Windows.
Most “desktop apps” are just: Electron + web code.
If you can access the bundle, you can retarget platforms.

#3That's great!
Yesterday I stumbled upon the same concept for Claude Desktop and Linux [0]. I wonder why the companies themselves don't want to ship their Electron apps for Linux, Mac, and Windows. Spotify has a sensible approach: they ship the builds, although unsupported for Linux. Not ideal, but that's something. [1]
