Re read your initial message. So your points was 1. finger friendly, 2.
performance and 3. desktop development stack

With 1. and 2. i think Mini is best choice, as it was initially developed
for old Windows Mobile devices, have several options to optimize rendering.

As for 3. i m not sure what you meant, Mini use Qt/qmake, and it is
monolithic, so building is simple as `git clone --recurse-submodules`, open
in QtCreator corresponding .pro file, build+run.

Mini was always developed on Windows/Linux host, but never packaged to be
distributed on those platforms as there are many great desktop solutions
already.

I initially thought that you need desktop experience on mobile, and already
refreshed project for recent desktop BibleTime and Sword:
https://github.com/kalemas/mini/blob/86317680768661e299c305556b2bb051e0dc0ddd/qmake/common/bibletime/bibletime.pro
, Mini frontend also would be built but not sure if its well due to quick
update.
