Ask HN: SwiftUI Alternates for Mac App?

1 points by singhanurag 2y ago ↗ HN

We're building a email client for Mac. Decided to go ahead with SwiftUI but struggling to customise it. Wondering if we should just use AppKit? Reason for Swift UI was that we can more easily build iPhone version instead of rewriting it in UIKit.

AppKit works perfectly fine and it's not going anywhere.

If you're customizing A LOT and fleeing the native experience, you might want to consider React Native or Flutter and get a free Android app out of it.

Staying native for now. The only thing with AppKit is the rework for iOS with UIKit. Do you think that can be ignored and we just press ahead with Appkit?
