Compile to Mobile

[aramrw]

I saw long bridge has an iOS app, is it the same codebase using gpui? Would it be possible to compile to iOS/android?

[huacnlee]

No, iOS used the iOS SDK not the GPUI.

do you think it could be possible tho? what's stopping it from happening

[huacnlee]

I don't know how about Zed team to consider of this.

But I don't think the desktop UI element port to mobile is a good idea. With our team, we'd like to use iOS UIKit and Android to development our mobile app.

ios & mac will both use metal, will just need to port some of the macos bindings from appkit to uikit and it (should) work 🤷🏼‍♂️

but thats for gpui, i wanted to ask what you thought about having gpui-component be like shadcn, where you can install each component seperately without needing the whole repo

for example it could just pull a button.rs file directly from the main branch, or multiple files it needs into a set components folder. then instead of needing gpui as another dependency, the user would need to be using gpui and the imports would work (?)

could be a seperate cli program so gpui-component stays the exact same, the cli downloads files from this repo
what are your thoughts if i started something like that? with your permission publish it to crates.io?
