I'd love to get some feedback before I announce this more widely. I tried to make the onboarding as painless as possible, and the demo app shows off most of the features.

About as fast as Slack.

A release build on a Pixel 4a, which is is now over five years old takes under 2 seconds for a cold launch on a fresh install.

thanks. multiple seconds is what i remember from before.

I should probably make it clear startup time is not a problem at all if I want people to try this.

that was one of the main issues before, so it makes sense to me.

iirc, one of the issues that was problematic before was clj 1472 -- this got merged in 2020 though (in 1.10.2-alpha1 -- according to info obtained scrolling up). i am afraid i don't recall the details at this point 😅 in any case, situation seems hopeful :)

I am quite optimistic. I've already released an app built with it to a small audience, and there's a bunch of fun stuff in Neko like intent callbacks that don't suck and sensors as reactive cells.
