#42This is super cool (i do a LOT of react native after years of doing native development) -- one thing I'd love: Adding easy upgrades, right now if I leave a RN app for a while getting it to compile on latest iOS/Android again requires a lot of manual labor and reviewing rn-diff-purge. Good luck on the project!

#43I was just about to sign off on a 6 figure deal for someone to make a app for our pest control SaaS, and I just saw this right now and now considering trying this out if it gets the cost low significantly. I would imagine for those who want to are agencies / developers building apps who charge a fortune doesn't make sense anymore with tools like Replit.it, Bolt, Devin and now A0. Great work Seth and Ayo for making it…
Building a RN app without any features (authentication, notifications) is easy - but adding those features and then navigating the outside-app ecosystem isn’t. It’s definitely not like the web.

#44The black border around the QR code prevents it from scanning on my Pixel 9 Pro.
If I screenshot it, crop it and paste it into a blank doc, I can scan it.

#45The demo looks great, congrats on the launch! I also appreciate your response regarding the Cursor comment. Is Onlook[1] a competitor at some level, or do you think it’s different enough?

#49How is this different from just using Cursor on my react-native codebase? Cursor in agent mode means: no copy paste, implements features and fixes errors iteratively, knows my codebase and adheres to existing patterns. If I need changes, I just ask Cursor and preview live app changes locally
We know Cursor is very good at code-gen and are improving our system to catch up. Our goal is to make the entire app development process faster and easier which involves alot of stuff outside of code-gen that we're working on and Cursor likely won't.

Could you elaborate on what extra stuff you are working on that will be a value-add over standalone Cursor?

#50The UI is very well built! Love the details too— from the line additions/deletions live counter while the AI is generating code, to the logo that points towards your cursor.
I had the opposite reaction. seems like a cheap knockoff of v0, just styled worse. Even the name. (at least the name v0 makes sense).
Kind of put me off of using the product because it seemed like they just put "Build me a v0 clone with distracting animations" into v0.dev
