Things may have moved on since then though. It's not something I've tried so can't give any 1st hand info.
Thank you for the information @wibble. Some great work from lupyuen; information I will make use of for sure. I've been reading a little more and I'm convinced that Flutter is a great choice for developing things for the pinephone for many reasons. The only thing I can see biting you in the bum is incompatibly issues. I really like the idea of one codebase for several platforms.
I've not done much with GO either TBH. I hear it's an easy language to pick up like dart and I was considering it for another web project of mine but never got around to making a start and now I'm looking at using Flutter for that too maybe.
I'm a systems administrator by day and don't do much programming day to day other than a bit of Python and the odd project in other languages when required so I need something simple to pick up and run with. Both GO and Flutter look like great choices for a guy like myself.
Hopefully I'll have something to share in a month or so.
