Hi, You can use JavaFX and Gluon Substrate (which will manage the building of the native apps for you) for free. The nag screen is part of Gluon Mobile, which adds specific mobile UI controls, and that saves you time. But it is not needed. You can also develop your own UI controls, or use the existing JavaFX ones. I think this is a healthy model. As a business, Gluon invest lots of time in Open Source projects. I think it is only fair that our engineers, who are working very hard on this, get paid for this. Our top 2 goals are: 1. developers should be able to use all software for free 2. companies who want commercial support, should be able to get that.
Honestly, I don't really understand your point. You seem to be disappointed that we try to pay our engineers for working on cool stuff, while we also clearly contribute to improve the ecosystem for everyone. It seems you don't like our approach and rather go with the business approach used by Facebook and Google, and that is fine. But Gluon is not Facebook or Google. - Johan On 2021/01/24 03:07:19, Brain Rebooting <siumastroma...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi all, > > Recently I learned javafx and after learning it, I thought that I would use > gluon mobile framework to build cross platform mobile apps.
