2 points · Open discussionIt's a good point, I'll find a good way to start earlier with cross-plat deployment management. Between the two of us we have strong fullstack skills in web and iOS/Apple ecosystem. Apple App Store distribution and IAP are a strong part of our typical app strategies (I'm able to drive huge user growth via App Store) but this approach for this idea needs more thought because the deploy-manager person for this app wouldn't be the one we'd charge IAP to. I'm not actually sure how to make money off this idea yet.
It's also potentially linux-runnable (the management tools) with a native apple frontend, then later can explore bringing to win/web
I've been moving more of my iOS app core biz logic to JS and exploring cross plat Swift for running more across web and windows, while still leaning hard into the nice parts of Apple ecosystem, so that

whatever solution I find for this is easier
We're also doing an app using https://github.com/live-codes/livecodes to move a lot more languages/envs capability into the client which might enable some good web and ios cross plat capabilities.
Anyway besides the platform question, interested in any other feedback from anyone
I'm using https://github.com/live-codes/livecodes to just move it all completely into the client with a replit-like alternative thing we're working on
