For personal software, I'm using Linux VM's in the cloud that host personal websites. Using exe.dev has convinced me that's the way.

For example, in this particular case, a native app limits you to viewing Markdown on your laptop. If you work in a remote Linux VM, you can render to HTML and view Markdown on any device that has a web browser.

It's authenticated by default, making public websites is easy too.
