alt Hacker NewsCalling a program portable by virtue of wine being a thing defies logic. That said, nice work. Midi instrument input is on my wishlist.

Maybe it's "portable" in the sense that it's just an executable to launch, with no installation needed? I don't think they claim it is multi-platform.
There were companies that specialized in 'porting' games to Mac using/packaging Wine long ago. It was certainly effective in the Intel Mac days and newer CPUs can certainly run software that predates that well. Heck browsers can run OSes and games in JS/Wasm.
I'd guess approximately nobody does it, but with winelib you can do a native compile and link.
Yeah, very nice app, but it's weird to target Windows as the primary OS.
Wine MIDI doesn't work, so it's a big advantage.
Portable and cross-platform are not synonymous. Being developed with the Wine in mind and being a standalone app are two unrelated features.
