This is great news, thank you. I have been looking into a way to port Soundscape Community [1], a navigation app for the blind to Android without having two codebases to maintain. Skip looks ideal; I was planning on asking you about licensing for a very small team with almost no funding.

Someone else already asked about talkback accessibility; I assume it will work because it translates to native UI controls on android. Is that correct?

Yes, as I just responded there, Skip uses the native toolkits and conventions on both platforms: SwiftUI on iOS and Jetpack Compose on Android. So you automatically get the platforms' built-in accessibility support.

You can see a sample snippet at https://skip.dev/docs/components/accessibility/
