The process begins with selecting an appropriate platform approach: native across Windows/macOS/Linux, cross-platform frameworks, and how the software will be distributed. A clearly defined MVP and an initial prototype help confirm workflows, performance requirements, and the overall user experience on real devices.

As the product evolves, stability, updates, and packaging take center stage. Proper management of file systems, permissions, offline functionality, and integrations (device APIs, peripherals, enterprise authentication) ensures reliability in everyday use, while an update system and crash reporting streamline ongoing maintenance.
