PhilBuilder: From Web to APK, Free
You code in HTML/CSS/JS and want a signed APK without paying 20–100/month. Existing tools filter by wallet. I refused that filter.
PhilBuilder compiles your web code into APK or AAB, free. No signing key? We generate it automatically. 10 builds/day when logged in, 3 when anonymous. One-click publish to the PhilTech Store.
In 7 days: React, Vue, Angular, Svelte support, plus EXE export for Windows.

This is seriously impressive, especially at 16. Making APK/AAB builds accessible to developers who cannot afford expensive build services is a genuinely useful idea.
One important detail: please make sure users can securely download and back up their signing keystore. Losing the key means losing the ability to update the same Android app later. Clear documentation around key ownership, storage, privacy, and source-code retention would make PhilBuilder much more trustworthy.
Great start—looking forward to seeing whether you can deliver React, Vue, Svelte, and EXE support within that ambitious seven-day roadmap. Keep building.
