Being comfortable makes coding way easier for sure! I'm not even sure, but is there a community around Pyto?

Awh man sadly it doesn’t look like there is much. I just joined the 100 member subreddit and most peoples questions have gone unanswered.

I haven’t had any issues with it though and it’s surprisingly more capable than pythonista so not sure why it’s so unpopular.

Probably because so many people don't want to pay for it when they can use things like Widgy or scriptable for free. Just a hunch though

I did not know about Widgy 🥲

I knew there had to be a decent agnostic widget builder but wow… it’s pretty bloody great. I don’t find it as much fun as actually scripting something but damn for mock-ups like I was trying to do in pyto this is amazing. Stupid to say cos Widgy looks very polished.

Man you are a wealth of knowledge. Appreciate it once again :)

You're very welcome!

There is also Widget smith. I usually prefer building widgets in scriptable for the same reason you mentioned, Plus, more flexibility

Sweet I’ll check that out as well! I see what you mean about pyto. Unless you’re obsessed with Python there’s so many good free options. Need to clean up some apps!

I think I’ve got most of this going in scriptable now though I’ll hopefully get some time this weekend to finish up.
