Looks pretty nifty, but I wish it would mention what it runs on (it looks like OS X only, but would it kill them to just say that?)

No it definitely also runs on iOS, and, interestingly, Xamarin: http://docs.xamarin.com/samples/PaintCode/

I met the authors in person > 1 year ago, when they were thinking about whether Java (Android) code generation would make sense. Would love to learn that they made it happen too.

I think they are referring to what platform the actual app runs on, not the code it generates, which appears to be OS X only.

Right, it generates Objective-C and C# which can presumably be used anywhere those can run, but the tool itself runs somewhere.

Tool runs on OSX only.

I guess they (I would, too) assumed it was pretty obvious, but it is clearly not. (I don't mean this in a derogatory or a mean way). Just interesting. Related to the top comment here about not assuming that the visitors know what the app is about.

They say they support C# with Xamarin.iOS, so no Android support through that.
