Description

First, thanks for all the work so far on this. It seems like a great project with lots of potential.

I'm curious how it compares/relates to the [BeeWare](https://beeware.org/) ecosystem, with its tagline of "Write once, Deploy everywhere". In particular, [Briefcase](https://beeware.org/project/projects/tools/briefcase/) seems like it covers similar ground, as a "distutils extension to assist in packaging Python projects as standalone applications". Among other things, it looks like it creates installers for Windows and macOS.
