Why is this an android app?
Why not?
There's two solutions for the desktop already and I'm building it in flutter, which is cross platform, I don't have a Mac here to compile to iOS though
A PWA would be platform agnostic.
True enough, but we all have different skills, and if OP has android skills but not webdev skills, then they'd just be making they can make!
Also it's open source so someone who has the know how can just fork it to build a platform agnostic version, or just add it to the current codebase.
singular they
Don't feed the obvious troll
ohh yeah true, i'm just gullible :(
That requires hosting architecture and ongoing costs
Depends. If there's no server-side logic, you can host it on GitHub for free.
This would be nice, but we wouldn't have how to sync in the background, at least I don't know how to do it
I think Tasker uses the option to 'draw on top of other apps' in order to maintain control of things. I think Poweramp uses some fancy notification settings (persistent, invisible?) to do the same. Poweramp is very good at retaining the ability to resume audio playback on device connect, independent of whether it was the last audio application playing audio. Tasker, I haven't used properly yet, but was interested in automating button functionality with it.
Another note: it might be neat to have a 'sync all account settings' option : )
Make it a console app and everyone wins
If it's built using compose multiplatform it's going to be easy to build for iOS and desktop
Building it in flutter, so yes, cross platform :)
