Hello.
Either from your experience or your understanding, are there app scenarios that Elixir-Desktop is not suitable for?
Are there specific bottlenecks for certain platforms (Android, iOS, Windows etc)?
The point of the question is to know in what cases to choose some other library and avoid wasted development time.

Creator of Elixir Desktop
Elixir-Desktop has at the moment a pretty strong marriage to Phoenix.LiveView for everything UI. So I think if you’re after building a native UI application then that is probably an area where it is not going to fit your needs or at least requires you to do a lot of extra plumbing. The same is probably true for direct pixel access and OpenGL, there is, of course, WebGL and <canvas> but those are indirect. For direct access to OpenGL (which is still possible), you will have to do extra plumbing.
Cheers!

You should be able to do anything using a NIF.
Since Elixir is traditionally a backend langiage, you might not find many native USB libraries in Elixir itself

I guess this is the first Elixir application available in mobile app stores?
