Status page for target platforms

Open ghost opened this issue 5 years ago β€’ 1 comments

Hi I'm interested in using Pybee to make applications. The homepage at pybee.org lists "iOS, Android, Windows, MacOS, Linux, Web, and tvOS" as target platforms.

I'm wondering which of these is currently ready for use in applications. I see from the Gitter chat that

iOS is relatively stable as a platform, but doesn’t have a lot of widgets built yet. Android, unfortunately, is in a badly broken state at the moment.

Assuming other people might be interested in following the project or joining in, would it make sense to have a status page showing the current support status of each of the listed targets? Does this already exist and I missed it? Thanks! :-)

Thanks for the suggestion! This is definitely something we need to make more prominent - setting expectations of those finding BeeWare for the first time is something we're clearly not doing well.

More generally, we need to work on our "first experience" funnel - getting people from the homepage, to a single tutorial, setting expectations as they go.
