"Hi!" Great project. Got me started with a [Mac] GUI for my little utility with very little barrier and very smooth learning curve. :)

Oh huh, I didn't even realize the friendly "Welcome to Toga" banner up top was in fact a discussion.

Hello! Python is my preferred programming language, so when I wanted to make a GUI app a few years ago, I looked for what cross-platform options were available in it. Qt/Pyside is mature, full of features, and can mimic a native OS appearance, but seeing as how it's a wrapper over C++ libraries, I found it unintuitive and labyrinthine. Kivy, on the other hand, is really quite eloquent, but with almost no support for native OS integration.

Toga looks like it's fast becoming exactly what I was looking for in the first place, and the fact that it actually uses native components rather than reinventing them in its own custom engine is extra exciting. I'm excited to see where it goes, and I hope I can help! : )
