I'm having fun with it, but I sure can't seem to change anything to do with aesthetics - font colours, font size etc? Is this possible or on the roadmap?

Otherwise, I'm impressed by the quality of the PWA (thought it might be React Native based at first) and the "it just works" factor.

Thank you!

We will add more options to customize the look of the apps. It's important to us not to overload users with fine-grained controls that require design expertise to get good-looking results, though.

That's an interesting point. As an app developer myself (so maybe not the target audience) I'd love to be able to change some aspects of it, even if it made things look "bad" as it would be a part of the fun/identity of the app. I'm not asking to adjust layout per-se (as that's more complex), but simply to manipulate fonts/colours etc. would be quite fun :)

Anyways, glad it's on the roadmap! I'll keep an eye on it.

Thanks! Custom colors are coming!

Ya know, draftbit.com is in beta right now and offers some pretty complex styling of React Native screens without messing with code. Although no way to import data... yet ;)
