Is Athom giving thought to allowing people to build Homey dashboards on a computer? And can we get the Energy tab like we have it on mobile on the computer as well? I don’t understand why this is all kept separate.

Same as the hoops you have to jump through if you want to create or change Advanced Flows on a tablet.

That’s only one of the differences between platforms.  
There are others that I really cant understand why these features aren’t available on “both sides”.  
The native groups is one, newly added, that’s only on mobile…

A few quotes from Emile on this subject

> [@\[Request\] Web interface](https://community.homey.app/t/request-web-interface/117072/3):
>
> To be honest, I would also like Homey Dashboards to be available on the Homey Web App. Yet we have to make choices where to spend our developers’ time.
> 
> And if you knew all other fantastic things we’re working on, I’m sure you’d prioritize those as well!

> Web app usage is less than 20% of all users. Unfortunately the codebase is not very compatible, even though we use React Native & React.
