I'm an Apple fanboy so anything apple related wouldn't be a problem if it's easier to start out in. I am trying to make a planning system (on a laptop/macbook) that works by you entering your tasks, and the system scheduling things for you, based on your priorities and a bunch of other things... (Its codenamed Project Alfred, and yes its a very big plan). I only decently know python. I also need a lot of flexibility, and customisability. Anyone who knows about this about and should be a good starting point please also recommend a good learning starting point. Thanks a lot!
#If I want to make an app, which platform would be the best for starting out?

Sup!
If you are looking for a platform to start in, Since you are a self proclaimed apple fanboy, have you looked into Xcode? Xcode is an IDE specifically made to macOS and used to develop software for all apple devices.
I believe this would be a great starting point for your IDE (Integrated Development Environment)
What else you trying to look into?
Thanks! I have been looking into XCode, but I couldn't find a resource for making mac apps, there are a lot for making iPhone apps. Is there a connection between the two?
Yes, many people share that sentiment
My suggestions is to take advantage of the resources for iOS and then easily change it to different OS's within the apple ecosystem.
There are a few videos titles (I tried to send video links, but misty got mad :/)
-SwiftUI: Build macOS App (2022, Xcode 12, SwiftUI 2) - macOS Development for Beginners > iOS Academy
-macOS Development Complete Course - Basic tutorial for beginners-Episode1 > Swift Kat Code Factory
-Build a multi-platform app for iOS, iPadOS and Big Sur! MasterClass, ios14-tutorial, swiftui-ios-15
There is also some documentation that Apple Provides to help with your macOS app development
Search "Framework Integration - Creating a macOS App"
I wish you luck on this journey!!
Thanks a lot @naive flare! I’m gonna try them all out. I’ll keep you updated 😉.
