It's quite fascinating to read about mobile crossplatform projects beyond React Native/Flutter/Xamarin and the old Cordova/PhoneGap and Appcelerator Titanium efforts. There's a surprising amount of them out there- Kivy isn't even the only one in Python, there's also Beeware (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qaPzlIJ57dk) and PyMob.

The question is, who actually uses these projects? The people developing them? Hobbyists? Language diehards? If you're a large company that just needs LOB apps, one would assume one of the aforementioned projects (or Delphi) would be sufficient. Who uses NativeScript, Ionic, QT on mobile, or obscure stuff like Sencha, Alibaba's Weex or Codename One?

RubyMotion at least has one famous app:
