Exactly. I initially thought it was satire. A dozen external libraries and a special package manager to build something that can be written with equivalent functionality in 10 lines of bash.

I don't exactly get why this is posted here. It seems like OP did this for the sake of his own learning, and that's well and good. But this is not a particularly interesting project and doesn't do anything novel.

"...written with equivalent functionality in 10 lines of bash."

Hyperbole much?

The OP isn't claiming to have done more than gluing together a bunch of stuff. And I don't think I can install a shell script on my phone. And it won't have equivalent functionality.

Hi, I thought of this as a starting point I could use to build more complex apps. The idea was in no way novel. I just wanted to use the modern technologies out there.
