Been working with React and RN lately and Gatsby… all the dependencies do really create headaches. I get it though… good for large organizations and cross platform products. Swift is much easier way to start a new app and prove out the concept!

What do you like about swift vs. react native?

Having written and maintained React Native apps in production for a while, it’s quite a breath of fresh air to pickup Swift. Gonna procrastinate in peace till I ship this (to be built with SwiftUI)

In no particular order, Swift is “it” cause
- It’s native
- No JavaScript related issues (bundling, bridges, and related pains)
- Debugging
- The syntax is so relaxing
