I agree, a KDE app using Kirigami for a convergent user interface, and
being able to easily deploy it to an APK for Android would make a
pretty compelling story to get more KDE developers to make their app
mobile-friendly, and at the same time, make KDE an interesting
community to develop also mobile applications in, with the side-effect
of enrichening the Plasma Mobile app ecosystem.
