Show HN: Cloud to Desktop in the Fastest Way

Native Desktop is a toolkit for building native desktop applications using modern web technologies without dealing with the usual complexity of desktop tooling. It focuses on providing a simple developer experience where you can scaffold, build, and distribute desktop apps using familiar workflows and a modular package ecosystem. Instead of forcing developers to manage complicated native environments, Native Desktop provides a CLI and a set of packages that handle the heavy lifting while keeping projects flexible and maintainable. The goal is to let developers move from an idea to a working desktop application quickly while still having full control over architecture and distribution. The project is designed for developers who already build with modern web stacks and want a straightforward way to turn those applications into desktop software without reinventing the entire toolchain.

A little offtopic: where this obviously vibe coded style comes from? I don't recognize it in any modern css framework (nor in the old ones fwiw). It's seems like all vibe coded landing pages looks the same but I can quite put my finger on what's its origin.
I think this particular design language became a bit of a trend before AI ate it up. I'm not sure what it's called but it proceeded neobrutalism and every single desktop app or self hosted solution had a landing page that looked exactly like this. I imagine AI saw the pattern and doubled down cause it's Claude's favourite design language.
I think this is correct. It was common across all SaaS products id say right before LLMs and as LLMs were taking off.
The marketing page is entirely from Gemini, so I was able to spend my time writing and testing the project's source code. simply I'm not a fan of vibe coding when building something for others that they pay for. thats why.
It wasn't an attack on your methods. I'm just curious where the llms got that design system because I've never seen it before vibe coded pages. Isn't bootstrap, or default tailwind, shadcn or something like that. And all big llm services seems to output the same style.
Fun glitch on the homepage: the dynamic text runs over a line break, so when it “deletes” the brand, the entire page gets shifted up a bit.
