Beginning with desktop app development involves selecting an appropriate platform approach—native (Windows/macOS/Linux), cross‑platform tools, and how the app will be distributed. Defining a solid MVP and an early prototype helps confirm workflows, performance requirements, and the overall user experience on real devices.

As the product evolves, stability, updates, and packaging become essential. Careful management of file systems, permissions, offline capability, and integrations (device APIs, peripherals, enterprise authentication) ensures reliability in everyday use, while an update system and crash reporting support long-term maintenance.
