That sounds a lot like my Day ( https://daybrite.dev ) project! We should compare notes… Are you confident that forking Leptos for this is the right choice? Do you like their HTML-…

Perhaps. And yet … 98% opposition from 4K respondents? I'd be very surprised to see any other poll that tilts the other way, regardless of sampling bias.

I am part of the team running keepandroidopen.org and corralling the signatures for the open letter opposing this program. We've been trying to get Google to reverse course on this…

I am the author of the letter and the coordinator of the signatories. We aren't saying "nuh uh, everything's fine as it is." Rather, we are pointing out that Android has progressiv…

It really isn't. Did you see their latest time estimate ( https://youtu.be/W4olXg91iX8?t=538 )? Late 2026 just to get the widget sets broken out into separate packages? And only th…

See my response below on the KMP question: the comparison with CMP mostly applies to Flutter as well. > near-native mobile apps (the difference is almost negligible) Not as of the …

No, you can configure it to just build and launch for iOS or Android separately. But we do recommend iterating on both in parallel for most of the UI work, just to make sure that e…

This is indeed a dilemma, but note that copyleft licenses like GPL or MPL do give you considerably more protection than a pushover license like MIT/BSD. I wrote about this last yea…

Good question. I'll try to answer as objectively as possible, despite my bias towards Skip's approach. Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) enables you to target different platforms with you…

Yes, as I just responded there, Skip uses the native toolkits and conventions on both platforms: SwiftUI on iOS and Jetpack Compose on Android. So you automatically get the platfor…

Yes, the unique benefit of Skip is that you are using the real native toolkits on both platforms. So you get both SwiftUI's accessibility support via VoiceOver, as well as Jetpack …

Thanks! It has been a long time coming. As we mentioned in the post, developer tools really need to be freely obtainable in order to gain mass adoption. In that sense, it was an ea…

Well, you're running both the iOS development tools (Xcode, iOS Simulator), plus the Android development tools (Gradle, Android emulator, and maybe Android Studio too). These add u…

You can make your own tap (which is just a GitHub repo) and manually clear the quarantine flag in a postflight step. E.g., see https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty/issues/8749 Us…

This is a neat hack, and I don't want to diminish the effort. But I fear that any such loader apk would be marked as malware by Google and nuked by Play Protect Services. And as ot…
