This is very interesting for someone who'd like to casually create a few apps on android for quality of life, but knows only Python and isn't interested in branching further.
1) how mature is the tool?
2) are there any established alternatives that this project is challenging?
- shakna 6y agoOn 2, Kivy [0] leaps to mind as a fairly mature cross-platform Python framework that covers iOS and Android. But like most of these things has a few rough edges. There's also PySide for Android [1], which is also fairly mature but is... Much rougher. With a higher learning curve. And less iOS focused.

- bartvk 6y agoLooks like it depends on what you call "mature". I just downloaded the example app called Travel Tips, and I get unreadable buttons and text because out-of-the-box, it apparently doesn't support dark mode. When I turn it on, I get unequal padding between boxes and no native pickers, just a picker at the bottom of the iPhone. When I run it on iPad, it boxes the content (two black bars left and right. The interface is simply stretched up, without regard for the huge space that the iPad offers. Font sizes do not adjust with iOS settings, even if you restart the app. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/travel-tips/id1336372310 https://apps.apple.com/us/app/travel-tips/id1336372310
