I need this! #62

Hello there!

I have ADD and I'm on my way to build my own WearOS app too. (with Svelte and NativeScript)

In fact, I'd love to build tons of apps for my dear watch.

Is there an APK of your app somewhere that I could try? Just playing around.

Oh how I wish! I have had the app running on my watch during an earlier stage of the system, but it (ab)used notifications for the entire interface, no actual GUI yet. There's actually a lot I can cover with just android notifications! They can have images, 3 buttons, timers, and text/voice replies. So it seems like the way to go for the alpha release...

That said, I'm using Elm with a passion, and I want to reuse Svelte-Native's shim for letting Elm control the NativeScript pseudo-DOM as if it were a web page. That would be my dream come true for GUI development! And Watches are too slow for anything but Native views, so while I can run the phone app on a web view for now, the Elm-NativeScript shim needs to be ready before I work on GUIs for Wear OS.

That's actually my only experience with Svelte. It does seem nice. I have started the shim project already, as seen in another repo of mine, but it's stalled at the moment because I don't know enough Typescript/Modern JS/NativeScript to fully understand how svelte-native works yet.

That said, for the watch view at least, I'm down for trying some plain old NativeScript views for now! They even have that visual editor... I'm currently preoccupied with the app's underlying business logic, but if crafting NS views for Wear is something you want to give a shot, I'm happy to collaborate!

Anyway, yes - a lot of us need this :) Thanks!
