If your like this approach to building hybrid native mobile apps, I highly recommend following Joe Masilotti at https://masilotti.com/

I only read three emails newsletters, and Joe’s is one of them because it’s roughly once per month and it keeps me current on all the things happening with Hotwire and Turbo Native apps.

And you're not wrong - there are very few resources available on Turbo Native development. My blog, workshop, and YouTube videos are practically the only things out there. And William Kennedy is sharing his process learning Android, which is helping fill that gap.

add contact links as well (LinkedIn, Github) (ex. https://masilotti.com/ )

update your website - make the site clean and direct about who you are, what you do, what you're looking for, and where you are (ex. https://masilotti.com/ )

be specific in your title & intro - "Junior Python/React Fullstack Dev" and "Locacted in Tulsa, Ok" mean more than "I thrive on challenges". What's the most important info about what you do and who you are? Make that first and prominent. (ex. https://masilotti.com/ )

add your photo in place of sonar. This site is selling your services and it gives more trust to have your face on your website. ex. https://masilotti.com/ ) You can move a block of text with skills below your "Hi, I'm Patrick" text.

Turbo Native in its current form requires a fair amount of iOS knowledge (and code!) to get working. I'm trying to fill that gap with my blog, workshops, and live streaming sessions. [1]

But it's no excuse for what this library could be if we invest more time into it. In an ideal world the library handles 90% of the boilerplate required to make an iOS app work. I'm talking authentication, pushing/presenting controllers, sensible defaults for Path Configuration, etc. All the stuff that I have to add to every single Turbo Native app I work with. (12+ since I last counted.)

Then devs can focus on differentiation and exciting features like push notifications, native integrations, fancy animations... while the core of the logic remains on the Rails app.

I'm hoping that getting more maintainers (like me!) on the repo will help kickstart this. And I'm excited to see more interest on both HN and Twitter in the framework.

I blog about Turbo Native and run the monthly ⚡️ Hotwire dev newsletter!

We'll use several interesting technologies to achieve this: Strapi CMS to take care of the content management and backend, Astro which is a great new technology for quickly creating blazing fast frontend apps, and ChatGPT to provide the article summaries.

Case study 4: Astro

Astro is the new hot new web framework on the block. All the cool kids are using it. I've recently given up, drank the Kool-Aid, and gone all in on it.

Built with Supabase, Astro, Unreal Speech, Stable Diffusion, Replicate, Metropolitan Museum of Art

Astro to use every framework at once instead of just react? https://astro.build/

Depending on the stack of the repository you are cloning, you might have to install additional dependencies. For this demo, I'm using my own website, which is a static website built with Astro.js. It which requires to have Node.js installed and Yarn for package manager.

Database: turso [7] or neon postgres [8] with (drizzle orm) or cloudflare durable objects

Maybe a bit too elaborate for your taste, but I've used https://astro.build/ and loved every bit of it.

Astro is an open-source JavaScript framework known for its versatility, performance, and new approach to web development. It enables developers to create fast, modern, content-rich web applications and sites using the "Bring Your Own Framework" (BYOF) model.
