I've got an idea for an app that I want to distribute as an executable for Windows and perhaps later for Linux as well. The problem is, I've already written all of the code in PHP. My first thought was to find the best tools with which to rewrite the code I've got. But then for second I thought, wait a minute, how crazy would it be if I could just use my PHP code and somehow create a desktop app. This blog post post is about how I go about doing exactly that.

TLDR; I went with PHP Desktop and managed to get it right. You can download my basic hello world example here. If you read on you can find out how exactly I built that.
