Comment on Capy – Cross-platform library for making native GUIs in Zigparent

Comments

I was pleasantly surprised to learn that Fluffychat[1] - A Matrix client, Was written using Flutter when I used it on a Linux smartphone(pmos). It's faster and more intuitive than any other GTK apps there (incl. Those purpose built for mobile) while it being built for desktop Linux.

I knew Flutter supports Linux, I used to check on its status every now and then and found that canonical had been collaborating with them; But didn't expected it to have come this far, Of course the credit goes to the developer.

It's not perfect, There are quirks like button presses hanging the app but I presume it's largely because the Linux smartphone community is small and there haven't been enough contribution in terms of issue reports, fixes.
