Development
Concentrate on developing your application business logic and user interface, the rest will be done by Molybden.
Molybden will help you with all the development steps you will typically go through when developing a cross-platform desktop application.
It provides you with the official project scaffolding tool, a set of project templates and CLI tools for running, building, and packing your application into a native executable for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
