I love functional concepts such as stateless systems, but young folks should acknowledge that two way event binding is something graphical desktop toolkits are doing since decades. For instance, Qt signal-slot mechanism https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/signalsandslots.html or https://libsigcplusplus.github.io/libsigcplusplus Furthermore, MVC is , when done correctly, a sane two way data-GUI binding. However, I have never seen…

I keep vainly hoping for undo/redo, configurable keyboard shortcuts, cross-app files, app help, you know... the wins of the Windows 3.x 90s. I'm honestly amazed some (especially undo!) were shrugged away so easily.
Can you elaborate? Undo/redo in what contexts? What applications had undo/redo besides for editing things?
What are the trade offs/Adventages to use cross platform tools for app development in 2021? The advantages of native iOS development, off top of my head: 1) Swift is very pleasant to use and it is fast. 2) The UI libraries that I need to learn: UIKit and SwiftUI. SwiftUI is also very pleasant to use and it is getting there. 3) No hoops to jump for integrating API that makes an App do things that WebApp cannot do. 4)…
But _also_ (and that's no small deal), these cross platform framework often benefit from a huge skill transferability from web development, eg React Native or Vue Native. This is a massive deal, it means you can get a web dev to be productive on a mobile app pretty much immediately (and potentially you use the same technology as for your web app, which itself is also a big deal)

Ionic and quasar already allow you to make Vue on smartphones
Shoutout for Framework7. I built a test app in both Ionic and Framework7 and vastly enjoyed the experience of F7 over Ionic. For Ionic Vue is still in beta, poorly documented and had some vague errors with obtuse solutions. It didn't have all the components you might want in an app either, so less boiler plate. Framework7 has full Vue documentation, and the handful of components that aren't Vueified (Calendar, Toasts…

Quasar and Ionic aren’t native though. They give you the JS app in a browser packaged into an app. React/Vue native give you a real native byte code app.

At my work, my team is pioneering React Native development so I've got a couple of thoughts. The main benefits for us come down to the fact that we have a large existing JS web application that would take a lot of energy to port to both native platforms (we know from experience, we tried it before). Using React Native, we can share a significant amount of the data and controller layers between web and native. This al…
I'm curious what this means: "...my team is pioneering React Native development..." React Native has been around for 5 or so years.

Ionic screwed me like a deck screw with their update path being more of a secret way into Mordor. Perfectly good app that can’t be compiled anymore without a full rewrite in what is effectively a completely different framework.
