Kivy is good for multiplatform. But at that time we had to ditch it because it
requires OpenGL >= 2.0. That means computers with older graphics driver would
have suffered. And we didn't have any way to solve that.
The look and feel is kind of like AOSP ICS of Android. Looks different from the

haven't used other UI frameworks, so can't say anything specifically.

Yes but going inside the browser is more of a sacrifice than other
approaches. I mean, just launching the app will start a web server and
then a browser and take you insi

I have spent 10+ years of Desktop app development using VC++/.NET, mostly
