Tangentially - I've been thinking of trying Elm for a desktop app. Are there any recommended ways to do it? I was looking at elm-desktop-app as a quickstart option, but it seems to be abandoned.
I don't think elm-desktop-app is abandoned, just that the author is working on other things at the moment. The author is has been working on another Elm tool, and fixed a couple elm-format bugs too.
Feel free to reach out in the Elm Slack or Discourse if you have any more detailed questions. I know there's been discussions in the https://discourse.elm-lang.org/ around desktop apps too if you want to search there.
