Insane if you think about how little functionality this kind of app needs. Millions of lines of code for what?
Gotta bundle the entirety of nwjs/electron. There's simply no other way.
I used a linux os for my phone for a while called SailfishOS and it was great having fully fledged apps for things like maps, music, etc in the kB range. The app i used for public transport schedules was 15kB.
I’d love to learn more about this. With hyprland I could see a passable “mobile” UI that feels like an extension of my main system, but I’ve not taken the dive into trying to get Linux working on a phone making calls and everything.
I have a Fairphone and i really wanna try out ubuntu touch on there some time. The functionality support with that is pretty amazing now, basically all relevant features are supported. The only issues are VoLTE not working and GPS being slow, but thats because of missing google services so cant be helped.
This also comes with waydroid btw, an android emulator thats pretty fast for all normal applications.
