This is amazing! With the second screenshot, is there an android target?

@sorunome Android is a completely different architecture and GNOME apps are not meant to run on it. You'd be rewriting the entire app *again*. I don't think @afranke would enjoy that project 😉

@nekohayo @sorunome but it’s all compiled code AFAIK, shouldn’t be possible to port it on android with minor changes? E. g. It look possible AFAIK with Qt

@surveyor3 @nekohayo @sorunome GTK does not have an Android windowing system backend, so it's not possible to "port it with minor changes". On top of that, Fractal uses GNOME services, and porting to Android would mean rewriting a bunch of code to make use of the Android equivalent

@ebassi @nekohayo @sorunome rewriting and maintaining! So it looks a lot of work and not really useful since dart+flutter already covers multiplatform.

Many thanks for the detailed answer! :gnome:
