What technologies exist for building beautiful native Windows apps?

Question

Windows

I became interested in creating beautiful elements for native Windows applications. Then Discord caught my eye with its nice and beautiful interface. I found that discord uses chromium and all of its content is html code.

Therefore, the question arose, how to use web technologies in desktop applications? Do you have to write a good old WinApi window and struggle with embedding chromium, or are there more advanced technologies?

It would be cool to find material with a brief description of different technologies and how to use them.

Answer 1

web technologies in desktop applications is https://www.electronjs.org/

Answer 4
