Multi-platform app

[rzelnik]

I tried many apps for task planning and project management. Most of them are too limited or too closed and therefore expensive. Planner is different: it is both advanced and open source. This makes it special. It would be great to have Planner available also for Windows and Mac users. I would like to recommend this app to my friends but most of them don't use Linux. What tools or processes are necessary for multi-platform releasing?

GTK apps should be somewhat portable, but as I understand Planner uses DBus and Evolution data server, which are very linux specific. Porting to windows would mean removing a lot of functionality or reimplementing it in portable way.

A very costy tweek is to use Xming in windows to open linux programs but generally this is not advised due to ram extensive and requires tedious work (for newbies)

There is an open-source Todoist app for Android: https://tisktasks.com/

Nice it's OSS, but I'm sure that people in this thread are looking for a different kind of beast...

As a Todoist user, I've been looking for something that would be a good FOSS alternative, especially if I can self-host the data, but the use of Windows for work is out of my control, and the need for app support on Android is a necessity. Elementary Planner is almost perfect except for the fact that I can't use it cross platform, which prevents me from being able to replace Todoist. At that point if I am using Todoist anyway, I might as well use the official apps.

theoretically, you could run it under WSL2 in windows.
