## Why Native Matters

### Native Performance, Not Web Wrappers

The quality difference between real Android code and a wrapper app shows up immediately in performance, feature support, and user trust.

- Real Kotlin and Jetpack Compose code
- Works across the Android ecosystem
- Full access to Android features
- Google Play Store ready

## How It Works

### From Idea to Play Store in Three Steps

The point is to remove the usual Android setup drag so teams can focus on the product, not the tooling ceremony.

01
### Describe your Android app

02
### Orchids generates native code

03
### Test and publish to Google Play Store
