Have you tried Hotwire Native yet? In my (extremely biased) opinion, it truly does bring “the ease of Rails development to native mobile app development”.

To start, you build a standard Rails web app, enabling you to interact with your customers. When you want to build that iOS and Android app, Hotwire Native makes it easy to create an app store app for each. From there, you can add native features as you need, as fast or ask slow as you like.

Why thank you! :D


This would be awesome as a random avatar generator!


I'm reading hackernews on this app called glider that has almost that, just not exactly invaders


Creator here - thanks for posting! If anyone has any questions on the components or how to integrate them, I'm happy to help.


That's right! It has a few native buttons that interact with the web view, like navigating between days and submitting forms.



That's awesome to hear, thanks for sharing!

We put a lot of work into Jumpstart. And I recently added a Strada integration which makes forms feel a whole lot more native. 2FA is coming soon, too.


That's fair, thanks for the feedback.


It's helping me eat better and drink more water! But I respect your opinion.


Thanks! That's the goal. This was more a test to see how quickly I could get something done. But now that it is live there are SO many features I want to add.
