Do you have an Android version?


Not yet. I'm waiting to use the Material 3 components which hopefully should be out soon.


Doesn't appear to based on the website, which is just sad considering it's almost zero effort to create an Android build as well. I'd consider using this app also.


I could indeed build it for Android, but since I'm using the Cupertino components, it would look and feel like an iOS app. As I said replying to the parent comment, I'm currently waiting on the Material 3 components to be available before I do that.


Sounds good, although a bit sad I can't try it out, even if it felt more iOS-like. But you gotta prioritize your app and what's best for it. Good luck!


I'm not aware of any planned/possible way to do copy exactly as you would an HTML page with HTML tags, but there's a big project to make selection and copying much simpler and more powerful (design doc [1], in progress PR[2]).

With that PR it should be easy to just add one SelectionArea to the root of your app in order to make everything selectable, like it would be on a web page. You don't need SelectableText widgets. There's an example of this in the PR [3]. No built-in support for multimedia or rich text copying yet though.

Text input fields should already do copy/paste pretty much the same as native.

Great initiative. Wondering why can't Google make this a priority and make it fast instead of focus on desktop and other device support.

Do they know that a ton of devs are not jumping in because of this one simple issue and sticking to other frameworks?


Kind of crazy all this effort is being put into just recreating something that has been around, and works fine, for 20 years. What a waste of resources.


Do you have a source for your roadway wear formula? Just interested to read more.


If you just google something like 'per-axle weight to the fourth power' you find lots of sources.


The AASHO Road Test is the ultimate source for the 4th power rule.

Thank you Mark! We were actually originally using Raphael but recently switched to something custom. We got a lot more performance for our use case. I would love to open source that code at some point.


Any specific reason to not use snapsvg?


We ended up having to duplicate some of the functionality of Raphael ourselves while writing the processing mentioned in the article (like to locate regions of an uploaded image after transformation). We thought it was best to just use this code to do the layout as well. It also ended up being a lot smaller than a full library, since we're not using a ton of features.

That said we played around with Snapsvg, and it is great if you're lucky like us and don't have to support IE6.
