This is nice. Hope there will be one day way to get executable for android or iOS. Even if someone maybe wouldn't write commercial python mobile app to be distributed in app store but such option would be super useful at least for me t

For starter they could use 0.1mm thicker glue pads so that they won’t break so easy. If anyone tried to change battery on iPhone then knows how easy they are to break then you have to resort to using dental floss or fishing line as an impro

They could just build one phone with fingerprint sensor on both sides and allow on app chose which side works as unlock button and which one as volume button. I doubt those fingerprint buttons are very expensive. Esthetically would even wou

Something doesn't sound to me quite right. If 1km2 can get you 20k L/d then 1m2 would give you 20L/d? I doubt that otherwise everyone would make their own fuel for car in small garden. Unless the actually mean 1km x 1km area.

Flutter definitely looks the most hyped cross platform SDK, but is it really the most adopted one? For some reason I don't see many flutter jobs in western world unlike you can find many jobs for react-native devs.

There is no clear winner here yet. Every solution has pros and cons. 1) Need mostly cross platform desktop and using hardware extensively (bluetooth, camera, audio, nfc, sensors, etc.) -> Qt 2) Have web expertise or need easily to find w

I think they should give up on Flutter for Web and just focus on mobile and desktop (and maybe extend use on Smart Watches, Smart TV, embedded instead). Too many people still remember Java Applets, google's GWT, Flash/Flex and how

I think they are planning to use wasm as target for Web. They don’t have any reason to compile to wasm on mobile when they already can compile to native. WASM is equivalent of JVM and I doubt they will start providing binding to different l

That’s true. It seems a young project but already got some PRs so those contributors potentially could always claim their rights to apple to remove from App Store. Some alternative could be just instructions how to build yourself or distrib

This was actually a dealbreaker and blocker for me when I last time tried BeeWare. I was hoping I will be able to do some rapid prototyping with numpy + opencv-python directly on my android or iphone. I wish there was at least some tutorial

There is one -> Objective-C++ - interop is very seamless (just change file extension from .m to .mm). I do hope as well that will change and we will see some other languages speaking to c++ so easily.
