I would say whichever platform YOU use day to day. You won’t know if it’s useful unless you are constantly using and refining it.

Id also be careful conflating “I want to build a product” with “I want to build a tool for me”. Start with just a tool for you, decide later after it’s useful to a user population of 1 if it’s valuable to invest in finding a market for.

Yes, I totally agree, I would first build it for me and work with it.

Right now I use a Mac, but I have used also Windows in the past, and - if I decided to code in Windows - then would switch all my work to a Windows machine, too.

Everything I do is pretty portable between those two platforms, so I don't have any problems with switching between the two.
