HN comment orderI work now with Flutter full time and love it, but on my way from web Vue.js to mobile development with Flutter, I was researching different app frameworks, and I watched some videos with the main author of BeeWare/Toga, Russell Keith-Magee. The presentations are very engaging and the solution that this project came up is really something. This is my favorite video by Russel [0], it really is a fascinating project, and he is a great speaker. With that said…
Here's a project the Beware team built, there's an iOS version built from the same source too https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keith_mage... Also a note re their platform compatibility, it's not just Android and iOS: iOS, Android, Windows, MacOS, Linux, Web, and tvOS Looks very interesting, going to give it a go adding guis to some existing cli python toys I've built
