Add an example/showcase on the website

[Lenormju]

What is the problem or limitation you are having?

I just heard of BeeWare, am interested on learning more, but I can't find an example of what it can do, how well it works.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like to see at least a link to a demo app, with screenshots of how well it works, what amazing things it can do.
I could not find a complete example, not even the tutorial's complete code on GitHub.
Would you consider providing a ready-to-run GitHub repository showcasing all the glory of BeeWare ?

Describe alternatives you've considered

Or a video/gif, showing some demo code, a command, then screenshots of it running on different platforms.

Additional context

Give something visual, especially when proving GUI apps.

Thanks for the suggestion! This is definitely a worthwhile idea.

To some extent, it does exist - that's what the toga-demo application is. However, that application can only run on desktop platforms because it depends on features that aren't support on iOS, Android, web or Textual.

beeware/toga#1873 is tracking the task of improving this demo and making it a more comprehensive cross-platform "widget capability showcase". Work on the demo app itself would be better focussed around that ticket; but once that work has been done, surfacing the app in the form of demo images and videos on the website would definitely make sense.

Meanwhile, there is a collection of example apps here: https://github.com/beeware/toga/tree/main/examples

Each of them can be run on any platform using the briefcase create / build / run commands from the tutorial.
