Isn't a better solution here to build an app that signs unsigned apks with the end user's self provided signature ?

Its amazing to me how AirDrop is such a big plus for Apple ecosystem even in 2024 given technologically it is one of the simplest things possible. The innovation is purely on the alignment of interests Apple has and its competitors don't because they are all competing with each other and then also Apple.

This sounds like (for now) the first step towards something like shared runtime for electron apps, would greatly solve the perf issues associated with electron. I built https://github.com/SiDevesh/Quark-Carlo a while ago to convert web apps to native apps using the installed chrome browser as a runtime, using the carlo project by google, google killed it pretty soon though. This way apps would only have to package their own node runtime (since a lot of electron apps use native modules or modified version of nodejs) and use chromium from the system. The above project by me does the same thing and the size and memory requirement is greatly reduced, (apps come at average of 40mb as compared to 120mb for electron apps).

I just applied to it for https://prismos.dev this is something I have been building for 3 years on the side and while I feel its amazing what this allows one to do, which is build IoT apps with a super easy API and install apps on your esp8266 IoT devices from an App store, no flashing and seamless end user experience, its still seems difficult to monetize to me till far so no point raising funding (atleast till i figure out a go to market strategy), but I would still want people to start using it. While the amount isn't a lot, if it can allow me to fund my AWS infra for a year without worrying about cash while I spend money in promoting it from my pocket, then its great for me.

You sound like a great developer! And being around people smarter than you and is one the best ways to learn incredibly quick. If you feel like lacking confidence in your skills, one thing that really helped me get over imposter syndrome was to pick up problems or projects that I never thought I could do. Pick up something interesting yet seemingly challenging (I was always fascinated by operating systems and embedded hardware, so decided to make an OS for embedded hardware). Work on it, talk about it with your peers. Once you solve such a problem you get a big confidence boost that you can tackle any problem out there and that on its own can help you with approaching things without fear and solving it. Hope it helps :)

That looks really nice! Recently had to create documentation for Prism OS (https://prismos.dev/docs) and I decided to use docusaurus since it seemed like the quickest way with sane defaults but it ended up taking way longer to setup everything before I could focus on writing the documentation. Is there a easy to use platform to quickly spin up documentation pages without coding ? That would also be really helpful since non technical support or content writing staff could then also contribute

I use kdeconnect extensively and it's by far the best solution I have seen. Not only does it allow for sending files but you can even browse the storage on your phone from your computer wirelessly, plus it does notifications syncing, remote commands and a whole lot more. It's actually available now for linux as well as mac and windows and runs great.

I am looking for a co-founder in Bangalore, India. I am building https://prismos.dev, which can be thought of as Android (OS + SDK + App store) for IoT microcontroller boards. If you are someone with experience in the field of IoT development and hardware prototyping, I would love to discuss! Drop me a mail at swapnil@prismos.dev

op here and the creator here, this doesn't include the chrome runtime so is much more lightweight than electron, and yes, obviously this won't solve the UI inconsistencies that electron apps have since this is also using web for rendering part but the apps created with this are more than just a web link. They integrate with the system launcher and open any external links in a separate chrome window, plus this has its own notification system polyfilling the web notification API.

In that case Carlo just shows a error saying chrome isn't installed

Recently there has also been some interest in making chrome usable as a runtime to load web content as/in native apps, especially since with native webview the experience would vary across different platforms (windows 10 below will try to load it on ie!), i was working on https://github.com/SiDevesh/Quark-Go using the cool https://github.com/zserge/webview library, recently started redoing it with https://github.com/GoogleChromeLabs/carlo
