I feel like you’re getting a lot of pushback on this and I’m going to go out and say this is cool and I’m glad people continue to try to innovate on the webdev experience.

The way I see it is building apps somewhat similarly to SwiftUI is actually a pretty good idea. If you have established rules for how each container expands or fills its content you can build a great web app development experience without getting down into css and html explicitly. Just Vbox container Hbox container text container etc. I can certainly see a niche for this as it is a different style of UI development.

I’ve never been great as a UI designer so doing it in the traditional web stack has always been even harder but I’ve found that with SwiftUI I can usually get 90% of a good look very quickly.
