Android apps work pretty well with mouse, on desktop.
I think the baseline toolkit could be the same, with some extra components for different form factors.
We're working on something like that (multi form factor UI toolkit) for Ubuntu, with Qt. Will see how far it goes.

Every aspect of the design is intended to be touch-first. That's totally fine – but the fact that they can be used with a mouse on a desktop does not mean that they work pretty well. The user interface paradigms are really very different.
- dharma1 11y agoHave you actually tried using Android with a mouse?
- Alphasite_ 11y agoYes. It is awful.
