 - **Device APIs:** Cross-platform modules for `Camera`, `Location`, `FileSystem`, `Notifications`, `Clipboard`, `Share`, `Linking`, `Permissions`, `AppState`, `NetInfo`, `SecureStore`, `Battery`, `Haptics` / `Vibration`, and `Biometrics`, plus reactive `use_app_state` and `use_net_info` hooks.
 - **Hooks and function components:** Manage state with `use_state`, side effects with `use_effect` / `use_layout_effect`, refs and imperative handles with `use_ref` / `use_imperative_handle`, and navigation with `use_navigation`, all through one consistent pattern. Components can return a single element, a list of siblings, or `None`, and `Fragment`, `Portal`, and reactive `Provider` context work the way they do in React.
 - **Async-first rendering:** One `asyncio` event loop runs the whole framework on the platform's main thread. Components can be `async def` and `await` data directly in the body; `Suspense` boundaries show declarative loading states while they wait. `use_resource` fetches during render, `use_effect` accepts coroutine callbacks (cancelled automatically on unmount), `lazy` code-splits components, and `use_transition` / `use_deferred_value` keep the UI responsive during expensive updates.
-- **Developer feedback that finds your bugs:** In dev mode (`pn preview`, hot reload, or `PN_DEV=1`), uncaught errors from renders, effects, and event handlers show a full-screen RedBox with the traceback; unknown style keys and duplicate list keys print "did you mean" warnings; and conditional hooks raise a `HookOrderError` at the source instead of silently cross-wiring state.
-- **Typed `style` prop:** Pass all visual and layout properties through a single `style` dict, fully described by the `pn.Style` `TypedDict` and the ergonomic `pn.style(...)` helper for IDE autocomplete and static checking. Compose reusable styles with `StyleSheet`.

+- **Typed `style` prop and theme:** Pass all visual and layout properties through a single `style` dict, fully described by the `pn.Style` `TypedDict` and the ergonomic `pn.style(...)` helper for IDE autocomplete and static checking. Compose reusable styles with `StyleSheet`, and read design tokens from a typed, immutable `pn.Theme` via `use_theme()` that follows light and dark mode by default.
 - **Cross-platform flexbox engine:** A pure-Python, Yoga-style layout engine computes frames once and applies them to native views, so `flex`, `padding`, `aspect_ratio`, and `position: "absolute"` produce the same geometry on Android and iOS.
 - **Virtual view tree + reconciler:** Element trees are diffed and patched with minimal native mutations, similar to React's reconciliation. Each commit lands as **one batched transaction** of mutation ops, and event callbacks are routed through a tag-based registry so re-renders that only change closures cost zero native calls. State updates re-render **locally**: only the component whose state changed (and its subtree) re-runs, and unchanged leaves reuse cached intrinsic measurements, so deep UIs stay responsive instead of re-rendering the whole app from the root on every tap.
 - **Native-driven animations:** The `Animated` API (timing / spring / decay / loop / stagger, awaitable or fire-and-forget) hands animations to Core Animation and `ViewPropertyAnimator` whenever possible, so no Python code runs per frame; a pure-Python ticker covers the rest. `interpolate`, arithmetic operators on animated nodes, `Animated.event` scroll binding, and `diff_clamp` cover the scroll-driven patterns (collapsing headers, parallax) that define native feel.
-- **Native gesture system:** Attach `Tap`, `LongPress`, `Pan`, `Swipe`, `Fling`, `Pinch`, and `Rotation` recognizers to any view via the `gestures=` prop, backed by `UIGestureRecognizer` on iOS and a unit-testable pure-Python arbiter on Android and desktop. Compose them with `Race`, `Exclusive`, and `Simultaneous` for cross-gesture arbitration (single vs. double tap, drag vs. long press).
+- **Native gesture system:** Attach `Tap`, `LongPress`, `Pan`, `Swipe`, `Fling`, `Pinch`, and `Rotation` recognizers to any view via the `gestures=` prop, backed by `UIGestureRecognizer` on iOS and a unit-testable pure-Python arbiter on Android and in the browser preview. Compose them with `Race`, `Exclusive`, and `Simultaneous` for cross-gesture arbitration (single vs. double tap, drag vs. long press).
 - **Virtualized lists:** `FlatList` / `SectionList` window their rows in Python over the platform scroll view: uniform, exact, or measured variable heights, grids, headers/footers, infinite scroll, and an imperative scroll controller, identical on every platform.
 - **Native rendering core:** each commit is one serialized transaction applied by Swift and Kotlin component managers, the same shape as React Native's Fabric. Device APIs are native modules registered by name (TurboModules-style), callable from thin Python facades.
 - **Custom-component SDK:** Wrap any platform widget as a first-class element with type-checked props via `pythonnative.sdk` (`Props`, `@native_component`, `element_factory`). Plugins distributed on PyPI auto-register through the `pythonnative.handlers` entry-point group.
-- **CLI scaffolding:** `pn init` creates a ready-to-run project; `pn run android` and `pn run ios` build and launch your app.
-- **Instant desktop preview:** `pn preview` renders your app in a native desktop window via Tkinter with Fast Refresh on every save: iterate on layout, state, and navigation in milliseconds without booting a simulator or device. The reconciler, hooks, layout engine, and navigation are the same code that ships to the phone.
+- **Metro-style dev loop:** `pn start` runs one dev server that serves the browser preview and every connected debug build. Save a file and each client Fast Refreshes in place, keeping component state; their `print` output and tracebacks stream back into the same terminal. `pn run android` / `pn run ios` bakes the server URL into a debug build and rebuilds the native project only when a native input actually changed, so relaunching after a Python edit takes seconds, not minutes.
+- **PyPI packages, binary wheels included:** List requirements in `pythonnative.toml` and the CLI resolves them for the *device* (iOS wheels via PEP 730 and BeeWare's index, Android wheels via PEP 738 and Chaquopy), bundling numpy, Pillow, cryptography, and friends alongside pure-Python packages. `pn deps` reports what each target resolves to before you build, and a weekly-checked compatibility matrix keeps the docs honest.
+- **Browser preview:** `pn preview` renders your app in a browser tab inside a phone frame (pick a device, rotate, toggle dark mode) with Fast Refresh on every save. The page is a bridge peer exactly like the Swift and Kotlin runtimes, so the reconciler, hooks, layout engine, navigation, and screen host are the same code that ships to the phone; only the leaf widgets are DOM elements.
 - **Native-backed navigation:** Declarative `Stack`, `Tab`, and `Drawer` navigators inspired by React Navigation. The root stack drives the platform's native navigation controller (`UINavigationController` on iOS, AndroidX Navigation Component on Android), so transitions, back gestures, and the hardware back button match what users expect; `use_back_handler` intercepts the back action when a screen needs to.
-- **Fast Refresh hot reload:** `pn run --hot-reload` watches `app/` and patches edits into the running app on save, preserving component state across most changes.
+- **Dev client:** Build a shell app once with `pn run ios --dev-client` and point it at any project's dev server from a connect screen, the way Expo Go does; physical phones on the same Wi-Fi get the same Fast Refresh as simulators.
 - **Bundled templates:** Android Gradle and iOS Xcode templates are included, so scaffolding requires no network access.
