The name makes it seem like it's related to the MicroPython project, rather than just written in it, which feels slightly misleading to me.
…for very large definitions of microcontroller
Serious recommendation: I would not have R. Kelly anywhere on your project page.

If you’re trying to give a 30 second elevator pitch about what your project does, you should not have a name be a guy spending 30+ years in prison for child sexual abuse.

The R Kelly references show a total lack of social/societal awareness. remove asap
Those tech bros should just...stop.

SBC is already cheap enough that you can throwaway without caring anything. Stop bloating MCU with....useless stuff.

If anyone suggest me "Python in mcu" professionally, i would never be able to trust them again.

I work on the micros that aren’t plugged I to a grid. So solar and batteries and the like. In that world, power consumption is everything. Interrupts and aggressive sleeping of your processor are you biggest tool.

Does anyone have any experience with current draw of typical pieces of “firmware” using this? I see that it’s on the larger side of what feels like micro, BUT tomorrows micro has been growing heaps over yesterdays micros for a long time, so I can ignore that.

"Android-like" term is pejorative these days. What do you mean? Closed app store with throwing out old software because so?
If only you'd bothered to quote the rest of the sentence:

"Android-like touch screen UI with gestures"

Could have used also "IPad-like..." or "IPhone-like..." and it would have meant basically the same. Maybe author is more familiar with Android?

PS: What's with all the outrage manufacturing?

Hidden project members, masked domain info and offshore hosting designed to avoid dcma. No thanks.
A great playground for learning embedded systems, even if not ideal for every production use case.
Does it run on M5Stack Tab5 or the CARDPUTER? Did anyone try?
Oh that would be cool. The current list of hardware has two boards. So the answer to your specific question is "No."

You might want to look at upyOS all it needs is micropython running. https://github.com/rbenrax/upyOS

I've added this to my "try someday list"

Given my experience with micropython's reliability... no thanks.

(in general actively using a heap in a constrained environment is just asking for trouble... fragmentation _will_ get you!)

I wish someone would make a wasm version of this. Should be doable and support many more languages.
nice gui

please make it in SDL3

This device no have a power. Your system can run solar panel and battery?
