Tcl cross-platform feature is astonishing. With Androwish [1] it steps even further.
I have a bunch of private tools for personal organization (time tracker, todo list, notepad-like app) that I've written in Tcl. Over the years, I used Android smartphones more and more and I just wanted all those small apps for Android too, but never had time to learn mobile development.
With Androwish I can just run them in my Android almost unmodified! And I can also make use of Android features like notifications. I sync the files between devices with Syncthing [2] or another tool and, voilà! I can use the same apps in both Android and Unix!

- blacksqr 7y agoSome of us would love it if you would share your apps!
- silasdb 7y agoThey started as quick-and-dirty apps because I didn't find anything that suited my needs so I decided to write my own. They are still quick-and-dirty (and ugly) but I intend to publish them next months after I clean the code up. Maybe I show them in "Show HN" :-) I still need to discover how I overcome some Androwish limitations. Tk is great but the integration with the system (like copy-n-paste) is still something I need to discover how to deal with.
- znpy 7y agoi couldn't find a screenshot, but I would really be curious to see it in action EDIT: found some at http://androwish.org/index.html/wiki?name=Example+Scripts http://androwish.org/index.html/wiki?name=Example+Scripts
- kragen 7y agoOh wow, AndroWish looks amazing! I didn't know about it because it's not on F-Droid. I bet I can run the slide-rule app I wrote in 1997 on my hand computer now!
