If we're in the area, we should also add Positron (installed with toga-positron); description "A Toga base for apps whose GUI is provided by a web view (i.e., Electron-like apps, but for Python)"


To add a third-party bootstrap, `pip install` the named package into the virtual environment that contains Briefcase, then run `briefcase new`. The new bootstrap option should be added to the list of GUI toolkits.
