Looks cool. I would try it. I'm on Android. This could be a PWA for both web and Android targets. Not sure about iOS yet, do they still not support PWAs?

View on HN

Or flutter to target all 3 :)

Highly encourage exploring Flutter as well, at least for new platforms. Lottie animations would pair nicely, as would any future goal of expanding to web or desktop.

Flutter is just awesome. Can't recommend it enough.

Never had an easier time porting UI to so many, different platforms.

Flutter alone saved a year of work.

Thanks! Flutter does sound good, I've just started looking into it. Am I right in thinking we would rebuild the UIKit components / views in Flutter and then would be able to use the same UI across platforms (iOS, Android + Web)? And it would still be possible to include the native Apple APIs?

Yes to how you imagine the UI layer, and yes you can definitely target both iOS and Android native APIs with Flutter.

Good point!

PWA would cover KaiOS as well.
