Comment on Ask HN: Any way to write a simple desktop app anymore?

Comments

A desktop app in Windows only requires an executable. Rust and Zig compile to executables.

Lately I have made efforts to divorce a variety of games for Windows from Steam DRM. I am hosting these games on a Linux file server for ease of access anywhere in the house. I am also using WinLaunch as a front end to map to the game executables so that in one click I can be running a large Windows game from any of my Windows computers.
