Any possibility of porting the app to Windows anytime soon?

I recommend the modified version of WSA, which gives you a full Android install with Google services, the play store, etc. All of the apps that I use on my phone and don't have a Windows version, now fully work on my Windows laptop and get to look and work as if they are native desktop apps. Also good for when there technically is a desktop version of an app, but they want you to pay extra/again for it. Looking at you Pocketcasts, which I bought the premium version of, and not a month later they did away with premium version of the app and instead created a yearly subscription to lock those same features behind, gave me nothing for it, and then proceeded to also try to charge me even more to use the desktop app instead.

Thanks to this setup, I get to have "desktop" versions of Gmail, proton, pocketcasts, Sync for Lemmy (and sync for reddit before that), and a bunch of other apps and tools that I either can't get outside of Android, or the non-android versions suck.

  1. Use Linux, Windows bad.
  2. How about an emulator?
  3. It's a Android App just a Port to windows isn't possible, the dev would need to remake the entire thing from scratch.

you can use WSA or Bluestacks as a workaround atm
