Many popular desktop apps these days are in fact web apps. The most prominent example is my mind is VS Code. Another is the Slack client.

This is enabled by [Electron](https://www.electronjs.org/).

Most people using QML to build applications do not use or program in QML directly. The way I usually encounter it is via QT Creator and QT Quick. In fact, that’s why I think @barche focused on building a QML based interface to QT.

Here’s Bart giving us an update on QML using QT 6 in July 2024:
