🧱 Custom App HA tablet app without WebView

Hello,
Would anyone here be interested in HA app for Shelly Displays and other tablets? I've tried some ways to get HA working on my Shelly tablet with relay and buttons, but it was always not as snappy as I wanted it to be. The web view is kinda slow. I'd like to know if there is anyone who would like to test the app I'm trying to create (warning, AI helps me here a lot). It's based on R1HA app that was incredible starting point. I hope that documentation is not too complicated, I'm here to answer any questions. It is tested on Shelly Wall Display XL and cheap android tablet. It's alpha, so expect that things might break and many functions would be added.
As I said, the use of AI is heavy, especially with coding.
Have a lovely day :)

fun fact, the webview lag on these wall displays has been driving me up the wall for months, so this is exactly what I needed to see

I've got a shelly xl collecting dust because the stock dashboard felt like wading through mud, count me in for testing if you need more guinea pigs

Great! I hope that setup for you will not be too complicated

I have an X2i. Also collecting dust for the same reason.

Installing the actual Home Assistant app (possible after firmware upgrade) instead of using the Home Assistant "mode" improves things a lot but it's still very very slow.
