There is actually a feature/handy branch, which is exactly what it sounds like (they implemented libhandy, as Dino is apparently already a GTK program in the first place). But that means you will need to compile it from source (for now). Which is a slight pain, however OTOH it is also so cool that this is possible to even do this directly on the PinePhone (being that it is a regular GNU/Linux OS after all...)!
There is an issue thread about it at their Microsoft GitHub, in fact I gave my feedback on compiling on the phone in this post. I seem to be successful in compiling things only about 50% of the time, lol, but this actually went relatively painless. Oh yes, and disregard my comments about launching the compiled app, after some time (or a reboot maybe?) it started to "just work" like normal (in fact I guess I should report that back...).
There are a couple (lesser used) menus that you might need to work around by turning to landscape, but a good majority of the app (and all the "main" views) have been implemented in libhandy by now. It is quite useable at this point already!
Thank you for this information. It is helpful!!
