From the Discord:

It was really great! The thing is, kind of like the Flutter ecosystem, it's as good as its third party libraries. This app is mostly a very advanced UI on top of the CLI with not a whole lot else - I think maybe the only 3rd party library I'm using is the file picker. But for other apps that might have more complex use cases there may be more of a struggle there.

The framework itself is great.

thanks! I'll have to play with it sometime, didn't find flutter that great on non-mobile platforms.
