What's your favorite framework for making apps (with GUIs) for yourself?


I want to start making apps for myself and want to prioritize speed of development.

I'm leaning towards xcode/swift since I'd like to develop for mac/iphone/apple watch but it does seem like maybe not a great idea to be locked in eternally to apple. What do you guys prefer?

Even EloctronJS is more popular, I am using [NWJS](https://nwjs.io/) because it is simple and support hiding code (compile code). However, I recently found a solution to hide code in the Electron app ([Bytenote](https://www.reddit.com/r/electronjs/comments/n155qh/compile_...))

I think it’s a dirty word around here, but Electron is popular for a reason..
