Desktop UX Standards Inside a Web Tech Stack

Overview

Modern applications are increasingly built with web technologies but are expected to behave like professional desktop tools. This document defines the principles, patterns, and behavioral rules that make a web-based application feel desktop-class instead of page-centric.

Core Philosophy

Install deps

npx husky-init && yarn add -D eslint prettier eslint-config-universe lint-staged @commitlint/cli @commitlint/config-conventional eslint-plugin-md

Add config rules to your package.json file:

"eslintConfig": {
      "root": true,
      "ignorePatterns": [


	function _encode(obj: object) {
	let string = "";

	for (const [key, value] of Object.entries(obj)) {
	if (!value) continue;
	string += `&${encodeURIComponent(key)}=${encodeURIComponent(value)}`;
	}

	return string.substring(1);
