Hello,

Over the next year, the OONI team will be building native OONI Probe apps for Windows and macOS. Hopefully this will make it easier to install and run OONI Probe, and to engage others with censorship measurement research.

To implement these apps, OONI started off by carrying out research to decide what technology stack to use, and the high-level architecture.

The OONI team experimented with various solutions and documented their advantages and disadvantages. OONI's Arturo published a blog post outlining the architecture and design considerations that we made for the implementation of OONI Probe desktop apps, as a result of research and experimentation with a variety of libraries and approaches.

This document, outlining the rationale behind our choices for the apps, is available here: https://ooni.torproject.org/post/writing-a-modern-cross-platform-desktop-app...

Always open to your feedback and suggestions.

~ The OONI team.
