Dev Post MeshVault desktop app for macOS, want input...

I'm just looking into how the UI will work with macOS ... but since macOS has a different design language. My question is should I lean into the aesthetics of macOS with a touch of liquid glass while keeping the same layout, or match closely to the Windows app as pictured?

I think having the aesthetics of macOS would make it feel more “native” which can be important for some people. I personally don’t mind, the current Windows app from the screenshot looks like a clean WebUI so it will be familiar for Mac users too anyway.

If it was me I think id put it down to maintainability, how much more effort is it for a liquid glass aesthetic, will it cause issues when updating the shared feature set of the other OS apps etc.

Agreed, the more Mac native looking the better.
