UWP, WinForms, Xamarin Android, ESP32-IDF, and the Arduino Framework
And that's just one project. And a couple of firsts for me.
I'm dizzy. 
I elephanting need an team but this is a small venture with a big ambition.
One foot in front of the other. I got this. 
Wish me luck.

That would violate so many HIPPA requirements that I'd probably be arrested.

And you can guarantee that none of the thousand frameworks the project is including isn't injecting a vulnerability?

Nope, but that's the client apps, not the device itself. When it comes to it, we'll have appropriate apps reviewed for HIPPA compliance and likely the whole thing will go through FDA approval, but I don't have to care about that because I'm not getting paid to care about that.
The web thing I said half in jest. Seriously though, realistically I don't think anyone really wants to upload their breathing patterns to a website absent some use for crowdsourcing that kind of data. I mean, other than "benchmarking" opera singers I'm not really sure what you'd do with it.
Besides, I can grab all that from the apps. And the web can't talk bluetooth though the device I built can connect via bt or wifi (though local net only, i deliberately use a discovery mechanism that doesn't route)

You'll have an easier time with UWP and WPF versus UWP and Windows Forms; WPF (UI) code is easier to port to UWP than Windows Forms.

Yeah. I'm mocking in WinForms though, and also building the core non-UI logic in Winforms because the WPF and UWP designers are just godawful and i need quick turn around in terms of the client approving core features
I'll probably go Winforms(Mock)->WPF->UWP
Or something like that.

I don't use the designers ... straight XAML all the way. And code behind!
It's just one big visual tree; made up of other little trees (User Controls).

I like having a designer for RAD stuff. Plus it's really nice to have (a working) one for learning the framework - tweak a setting or add a control and look at the source.

Yesterday was one such day.
I,
a) found what appears to be a major bug with the *only* bluetooth library for Win32 and .NET that I could get my hands on. After we paid $400 for it. I recommended it to my employer. 
b) fried an SoC device my employer sent me five minutes after fedex dropped it at my door. I let the magic smoke out of it, like a fool.
c) spent several hours writing code I can't even use.
*headdesk*
Let's hope today isn't more of the same.

The chip was eleven dollars. Shipping it was fifty. And then frying it meant wasted labor for both me and my client. So yeah - headed in the right direction at least.

At that price, I'd be getting them in pairs, in part to mitigate the very real possibility of...well, you've experienced it yourself.

I have about 20 of these. The trouble is they aren't all the same pin layout (even though they all have the same pins, just in different places)
The one that was sent me had for some reason, more pins and of course, a different layout. It exposed more GND pins, and had a few pins that were reserved exposed on the board for some reason. It's a one-off
It is however, the one we need for our production PCBs because my client likes getting stuff from digikey. He says they're more reliable, but this was the part they had. Not really my favorite ESP32 devkit tbh.

I realized years ago that all they taught me in Engineering school was wrong; those electrons and holes are a mere distraction, and do nothing for the devices that manipulate them. The real working fluid for electronic devices is smoke, and when you let it out of the package, the device stops working.

Hahaha i emailed my client, and told him I let the magic smoke out. =)
I learned that expression from my father in law, a master electrician.

So, my current laptop is 3.5 years old, and although I am confident in it, I received a "computer porn" email from my supplier. By that phrase I mean, "omg, the new version is gorgeous!
Choice of processors (high end intel or amd), I'll certainly beef up the storage and RAM on my own, spec'd with an NVidia 3080... drool. Okay so this would be for a mainly development laptop. I normally stick with the 15.6" displays. They fit in my laptop backpack and seem to be in the sweet spot. But this new puppy comes with a 17.3" display at 2560x1440 with an nvidia 3080 GPU. 
So, for those of you who develop on laptops - insights and opinions into 15.6 vs. 17.3?
