#beeware — Public Fediverse posts

This morning at the Django booth there was a very interesting meeting between the BeeWare and Django projects 📱✨

Russell gave a small demo showing how the Django admin could become a native mobile application using BeeWare.

Natalia and Jacob, our two Django Fellows, seemed very interested, so maybe some interesting collaboration or experiment could grow from this meeting.

First major docs site to be converted: the #BeeWare tutorial.

This took two weeks!

For reference, the toga docs took two and a half _months_ to convert.

Manual verification was critical. There was a full side-by-side comparison and verification between old and new.

Briefcase took three days. Simpler surface area and tooling improvements helped tremendously.

Early win: MkDocs live preview is quicker than Sphinx! This sped up development time.

Once basic viability was established, translation support was needed.

There isn't a built-in translation system for MkDocs, or the maturity of plugins that Sphinx has.

Creating and running build scripts for #BeeWare was necessary.

One challenge is #BeeWare has the website, the tutorials, and docs collections for every repo and project.

The website was originally using Lektor in reST mode. It was... rough.

Kattni started by using Pandoc and the Lektor API to start the migration.

Full conversion was not the original goal, proving it was possible was the goal.

Now for the #BeeWare migration.

@beeware is a suite of tools to let you write cross-platform GUI applications entirely in python.

@kattni started by tackling documentation isses, and @freakboy3742 lamented the current state of reST.

Kattni saw an opportunity for improvement.

Today in #BeeWare

@freakboy3742 tries to name a thing. Gets sad because name is taken on #PyPI.

Upon closer inspection: _Russell_ owns the package on PyPI.

"But Doctor! I _am_ the Cheeseshop!"

Oops, @kattni just caught a bunch of people, including me, with a BeeWare challenge coin check in the middle of her talk. Going to be a big round of drinks tonight. #nbpy #beeware

hi @beeware
I am looking for a graphical widget with x-axis and y-axis to show a value or more values changing over time like below. Is this currently possible in #BeeWare?
#linux
By the way beeware is uber-cool (so you know)

Took Beeware for a spin yesterday. It's just the Toga web view tutorial from the documentation page, but serving my FreedomBox web interface.

There's not much to see in terms of code. I am just amazed that it works on GTK and Android. I had to put a lot of work into resizing PNGs because the platforms expect different resolutions.

I don't know yet if the native Android app's features can be fully replicated.

Just realized I left my Beeware challenge coin at home, glad I didn’t get challenged! I suppose there’s still time on a plane or between flights. #PyConUS #Beeware

I am probably not the first person to make this observation, but I am starting to suspect that #Beeware might actually be the bee's knees.

Going from zero to #Android app in just a few minutes, in #Python, and then seeing the exact same "hello world" look good in a Linux GTK rebuild a few seconds later ... is very cool indeed.

@G047_H4xx0r_M4573R_814573R @MaggieFero this was tongue-in-cheek, as the rest of the thread indicates more clearly.

I've worked on the #BeeWare project for nearly a decade, which is a pretty successful attempt to make cross-platform (iOS, macOS, Windows, Linux, Android) apps in pure python.

We're always looking for contributors if this is an area you care about.

When he isn't wearing his CEO hat for Crowdalert, Philip James is a core contributor on the BeeWare project, a project trying to make native iOS apps possible in Python. There's something special about a founder so committed to his craft that it's both his career *and* his hobby! 🐝💻

I was just on @talkpython and we ran out of time to ask me for a notable #Python package, but I was going to say Toga from the #BeeWare project because they just hit a milestone of having audited all of their widgets on all supported OSs!

Rewriting a #tkinter app to #beeware , I had a hell of a time figuring out that I have to use async and await with file dialog boxes. Just me being an amateur?
