    Be careful when using semantic elements purely for presentation purposes. For instance, the element gives the element a landmark role 'complimentary' telling assistive devices that…

    The biggest downside I found with kivy is the amount of time it takes to launch the app as it has to set up the python environment et al. If that's improved with newer versions of …
