I have no background or knowledge on this. I would like to make an app for performance engine building that has various pages with various formulas, unit conversions, tool lists, etc. What program do I use to make an app? I’ve seen Surge, Bevy, and Godot but those seem to be for games.

Edit: Thank you everyone for your helpful responses. Unfortunately I can only see the responses left on my post, not replys to top level responses. I think this is an instance problem and I’m trying to find out because I would love to see everyone’s comments. All is working now

    The answers about getting started with Kotlin and Compose are good, but I’d like to offer for your consideration that your app may actually be more appropriate to build as a website. Food for thought.

      It’s a good point about the website and I’ve thought about that as well. I do want to go the app route however because I want instant offline access

        Fair enough.

        I’d say it’s kind of a good time to get into Android Development - Kotlin and Compose has made it highly pleasant and productive when compared to the days of Java and Views.

          That’s great to hear and know I wouldn’t be learning a depreciated language. Thank you!
