Is that android phone only? I mean it would be cool to have it both on desktop and android tv...

I read somewhere there is talk of it coming to desktop.

You can run it under Amazon android emulator, but still has glitches regarding screen usage.

Well. Is it possible? Yes. Is it user friendly and optimized? Not really.

That's why it would be great to have native app.

Run Android Subsystem for Windows, problem solved.

Well, I know the solution exists, but it hardly counts as a desktop app. I'd prefer something native (esp. for linux).

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yea, nit the easiest/simplest approach. Something native would be better.

I already run WSA for other stuff, so it's already there, and Android apps appear just like other apps.
