kivy, which does the same thing, has been around for over 10 years. I built my thesis in it a few years ago. not recommended—too many limitations and build issues in practice. given that this one is less mature...I'm not optimistic.
- PostOnce 8d agoAll software has limitations, that's why we keep writing more software. Kivy is great, and the contributors are friendlier than most. I particularly like it for Android, but it's definitely way up there in terms of "easy reliable multiplatform python framework". It also gives you a ton of options for how you want to use it, more than one way to skin a cat philosophy.
- bjord 8d agoabsolutely! no shade towards contributors, my impression was that compiling for iOS is just a bit of a moving target. everyone was willing and ready to help where they could, I just had a lot of trouble.
- skeledrew 8d agoI tried using Kivy some years ago and also found it pretty painful. Flet I've been using for a while now and find it a joy by comparison, and it's actively developed, with a release every couple months or so. With the stability of v1.0 I expect that to slow a bit though, as I'd say at least core Flet is feature complete.
