I get where you're coming from but Linux exclusive desktop apps are so rare that it is probably worth it using tight platform integration as a way to convince users we have quality, nicely designed desktop apps too, especially considering Todoist have a Windows app but not a Linux one[1].

I totally understand why. It just felt weird the first time I came across a beautiful Linux Mint app, that couldn't be ported to windows..
.. the cool thing is, that it is possible with WSL and it probably will be almost seamless in the future - without additional work for the devs.
I specifically want to use Planner because of the local mode. Afaik ther are no nice local-only todo apps for windows with sub-task support.

Todoist does have a Linux app, although it's effectively an electron wrapper around the web app. Having said that, I don't think this is unique to the linux version though? https://todoist.com/downloads/linux

From the screenshots it looks very similar to Microsoft To Do: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/microsoft-to-d...
I get why; I'm just sad - especially because some Linux users are annoyed by "Windows only" tools and then they use linux only features, that never can't be ported to other operating systems as well(not because lack of people, but incompatibility).
Planner is one of those amazing niche tools that doesn't exist for Windows. It looks amazing - congrats!
