Awesome project! I really need to be part of this. React-native is a good choice.

vilanz commented 5 years ago

@nukeop "in the future"? Is mobile a priority currently? I must admit I'm way too excited about helping with this, as it's what I've been wanting for like, forever.

nukeop commented 5 years ago

Android release is not a priority, because I do not own an Android phone and would need to get one (or an emulator) to start developing. If there's demand though, it might influence my priorities, but first I'd need to move more functionality into the core package (nuclear-core).

I planned to do start the work around version 0.7.0.

Would love to have it mobile as well. I'm not experienced enough to start this react-native project.

LifeIsStrange commented 5 years ago

@sepiropht actually i find react native to seems cool but not being yet production ready, for exemple it has subpar modern CSS support (e.g no CSS grid), and does not support many important features such as multithreaded js (web workers, as async promise js is single threaded)

sepiropht commented 5 years ago

@LifeIsStrange Not production ready ? react-native is used by some big player like airbnb, instagram ... What are other options swift/kotlin or maybe flutter ?

LifeIsStrange commented 5 years ago

@sepiropht production ready is a relative term, with enough workforce, you can redevelop some of the many missings browsers features of react native, and through external libraries uses (but a lot are underdevelopped/documented/tested) and through workarounds, you can product almost anything with react native. But if you have an advanced frontend, and you have no massives ressources, you may hit the react native bugs/missing features and be in difficulties, probably needing to simplify the front/layout.

As for airbnb they have dropped react native, i'm not saying it is a bad technology if you fit the common pattern, but it's risky if your front is not so casual. Using a webview with https://github.com/GoogleChromeLabs/carlo and eventually webassembly (rust or c++) is battle tested and featureful. A massive advantage is that it allow you to reuse a billion of existing libraries instead of reinventing the wheel, it also allow to share code with the desktop and TV.

others options like flutter seems to me even less mature (and needs you to learn a langage with no future (dart), and doing full native through swift kotlin does not allow to share code between Ios/android and should be far less productive. webviews still allow through api to launch native components like notifications or camera.

There are some optional frameworks that can be used to accellerate development with a webview, mostly IONIC, and the usual bootstrap, react/jquery/vue/redux, materialize for meterial design, scss, etc

I haven't heard before of carlo. Does this work on mobile ? It seems to me that is more like an alternative for electron. I don't like dart either but google use it a lot for his products (fuchsia, google ads). Flutter and tooling around it look amazing. How could you be so sure that dart has no future ? I want to believe you, i prefer reason but dart/google/fuchsia seems already too strong, no ?

@nukeop, I'm assuming this changed as the repo isn't there anymore. Do you have plans on bringing it back?

nukeop commented 2 years ago

I added my answer to the FAQ: https://nukeop.gitbook.io/nuclear/faq#is-there-an-android-ios-version

Coderdude112 commented 2 years ago

Oh gosh and it's the first FAQ. My god do I feel dumb

Sorry & have an amazing day!

Hello the reason started that the Google App Store doesn’t except it is kind of weird ? Why not Just distribute using f-droid ?

Korb commented 1 year ago

Why not Just distribute using f-droid?

One reason is enough:

I don't have a smartphone and I'm not planning to get one

nukeop commented 1 year ago

Most people who use Android have no idea how to sideload programs. I was recently told that even distributing the binaries on Github is too confusing.
