Runs on the Librem 5 Smartphone – Week 2

Have you seen what development for this is like? You can slap together simple apps (the UI anyway) with a few dozen lines of C. It's extremely simple, lightweight and fast, everything react/PWA's/etc aren't. This is what excites me about librem the most, it's so easy to just write code with no bloated IDE, 15 xml files, AbstractFactoryBuilders and the rest of the android crapfest.

PWA's and the like can stay away, I want software from developers that actually respect their users, software that doesn't waste resources, software that actually looks native.

I’m sure it’s just as easy as any other UI.

My point is it’s so small, nobody will focus on it. However, if they can easily port their existing codebase, it will have more apps.
