Good to see Skip on the home page! We were evaluating Skip just a couple weeks ago for a side project.
The issue we ran into is that we've already built a native iOS app with SwiftUI + a bit of UIKit. Integrating Skip with an existing app seemed like a significant task
Does that hold true in your experiences? Do you have any examples of small- or medium-sized existing apps that have migrated to Skip?
Yes, the docs even say that integrating into an existing app is way harder than starting with a new one!
https://skip.tools/docs/gettingstarted/#existing_development
Have not read the docs, but what’s the reason for that?
Is it not just a transpiler, since then it should work at any stage. No?
It’s missing things that are harder to work around if you already have code relying on those missing bits or done in an architecture it can’t transpile
