Desktop App
IDX Desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux), either:
- Electron / Tauri wrapper
- Or React Native desktop app
For better avoidance of browser keyboard shortcuts / better native + OS integration
I'm a big supporter of web standards, but running an editor in a browser tab or even as a desktop PWA is often lacking / janky (judging based on the VS Code editor on github.dev)
Alternative Considered: PWA
If you manage to achieve parity by fixing the UX problems and integrating natively, making it work without downsides, I'll be on board with running IDX as a PWA!

.NET MAUI or Uno please.
Customers don't like Electron and other web apps.

This is primordial for all developers. Working on a Desktop app is so much better for organization, shortcuts, optimisation. Project IDX is just so developed and so complete, but this is a key feature that has to be added 😊

Vital for our team to use IDX. Chrome does not cut it.
