Can vouch- been using this tool the last couple months and it's been magic. It's new so there is definitely a learning curve, but once you get things working it solves the cross-platform problem completely.
- itake 2y agowhy is this better than RN or Flutter? Does it make styling easier? like android app can have a material design.
- dkga 2y agoI would guess the apps are much lighter and less buggy.
- itake 2y agoMaybe? The docs say you have to build the swift app in a weird way (meaning you can't just convert your existing code to the new framework). Doing something non-standard hints bugs to me.
- abewhite 2y agoNothing non-standard about it, and you can certainly convert existing code. But if you want to convert an app - as opposed to a framework - you should start with our template and move your code over. The Xcode app project file format is opaque, making it very hard to migrate, and we rely on it being set up in a certain way to be able to build for Android
- isodev 2y agoDoes it really? The layouts on Android seem very iOS-y unless you apply "platform customisation" but that seems to defeat the purpose of this framework. I think it's a nice toy experiment to cross-compile things but not really transformative enough to be a viable option. Also becoming dependant on a for-profit company to build your app on top of the platform, I think there are others who have tried this as well.
- lightyear_clone 2y agoI am curious, are you building your app on a non-profit company platform? If so, do you mind sharing it?
