A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

It's great to see more clients popping up. While the basic design of the feed and comment section are well thought out, I still prefer a native Swift UI application to a React Native application. I get why it's using React Native, but still.
Great job though!
There are a few things that are a bit harder to do with RN given a bit of easy access to APIs, but you can always make modules to interface with native code. For one, this little image thing I used is just pulled from a library. It's a bit iffy, and I am writing a replacement for that now. Same with markdown rendering.
As far as the UI itself, it gets pretty close to what you'd see with a native UI, if not exact. But I certainly do understand why from a dev standpoint you'd like to use SwiftUI, it's great!
If there's anything that you'd like to see in the UI though let me know!
