1. Im a happy repl.it user.

2. Do you think that native gui widgets could be emulated on the browser in order to do native development on your platform?

3. Will you offer a pipeline from repl.it to app stores? One click publish sort of thing.




I'm happy that you're happy.

A lot of users request support for things like Python Tkinter for example, and while it's possible (e.g. stream via VNC) we always try to balance our users' requests and where we believe programming is headed. For example, there has been a massive shift from native GUI to web-based tech (even on the desktop via Electron).

Yes, we're considering that and not just for React Native for other platforms as well. Imagine building a web service on Repl.it and hosting it with one click!


I think regarding native interface elements, the original commenter is asking regarding React Native components that are native to IOS or Android.


That's already supported via Expo :)
