Hey everyone 👋 I'm Kane, founder of Nativeline. 9 months ago I just wanted to make an app. That's it. I had an idea, I wanted it on my iPhone, and I wanted to ship it. So I tried the app builders. They gave me web wrappers disguised as apps. You know the feeling, that slight lag when you scroll, the buttons that don't quite feel right, the moment someone says "this doesn't feel like my other apps." It wasn't native. It wasn't what I wanted. Then I tried Claude Code. The models are incredible, but I was jumping between Claude, Xcode, ChatGPT, my database provider, back to Xcode, and somehow supposed to learn how Xcode works along the way. It worked. But it didn't feel like building. It felt like wrestling. I kept thinking: what if this was all in one place? What if I could describe my app, build it through conversation, handle my database, push to TestFlight, and never leave one platform? That didn't exist. So I started building it. Nativeline is the experience I wished I had: Real native Swift: not a web view pretending to be an app. Your users feel the difference. One platform, start to finish: conversation → database → code → TestFlight → App Store No Xcode required: we handle the complexity so you can focus on the idea It's fast, most people have something running in a few minutes, but honestly, the speed isn't the point. The point is it finally feels like building, not wrestling. But honestly, the thing I'm proudest of isn't a feature, it's watching someone see their idea running on their phone for the first time. For the next 24 hours, everyone from Product Hunt gets 150 free bits, enough to get your first app running. What would you build?

@kanepanderson It’s exciting to see an AI that ships real Swift code. How customizable are the generated apps? Can experienced developers tweak the code or integrate with existing modules? I’d love to know about plans for Android or cross‑platform support.

@kanepanderson  @hijacey  I have used it to build some apps (I am also capable with Xcode, Swift and SwiftUI) - and it does a crazy good job at customization and such. You also have full access to the code and Xcode project, so you can use Nativeline to do the whole thing, or just save you like a month or two of dev work to get rolling super fast.

@hijacey,thanks for checking it out!

Fully customizable. The full Xcode project lives on your Mac, so you can tweak anything, write your own code, or hand it off to another dev. We also have a built-in code editor if you want to make changes without leaving Nativeline.

As for Android or cross-platform, no plans as of now. We're Swift-only on purpose. We'd rather do one thing really well than spread thin and compromise the experience.

Congrats @kanepanderson on finally getting @Nativeline out. I've been using it for a few weeks now after hearing about it, and it is really good. it is the fastest and straightest line to getting an iOS app working. There is no question about that. And I appreciate the responsiveness in bringing new features being suggested by the community to get us to value ASAP. And no...this is not just a wrapper on an AI model. I've tested it against them and the quality of output is noticebly better...especially when trying to use the latest iOS HIG and frameworks and features.

I recommend everyone take this for a spin, you will be surprised at how far you can get and how little you need to manage from a dev perspective to get there. Can't wait to see when this handles iPad and Mac dev also. once again, Congrats on the launch. This is a huge feat you've accomplished.

@uelsimon this means a lot. Seriously. You've been with us since the early days and your feedback helped shape what Nativeline is today. The fact that you noticed the difference in output quality is exactly what we were going for, not just a wrapper haha, but something that actually understands iOS. iPad and Mac support is coming. You'll be one of the first to know. Thanks for believing in this!
