I love the idea of Swift Bootstrap. If executed right this could be a solid resource for iOS development and prototyping. @lucasjgordon wrote about what inspired him to start Swift Bootstrap here. Check it out > http://blog.trackduck.com/2015/0...

@robjama thank you for hunting, so pleased to hear that you like the idea!

Thanks for putting this together. I was able to go thru the pages quickly and easily. My primary app is landscape only and it looks like your site is only for portrait-oriented apps. Do you have any plans to support landscape-only apps & games?

@fbara at this point it's only a very basic implementation of the idea, and I was really hoping to take my development lead from user feedback. So in short, yes I'm now planning to support landscape orientation :)
Frank
@lucasjgordon Thanks for taking my feedback, Lucas. Any plans on supporting Objective-C?

@fbara I think Objective-C support makes a lot of sense. I started with Swift because it's what I'm learning at the moment, but yah why not. I'll add it to the list!

Hey everyone, very excited to see that Swift Bootstrap was hunted today! I enjoy iOS development, but there aren't that many tools available to speed up some of the more repetitive aspects of the development process. I thought it would be useful to build a couple of simple tools to help develop iOS apps faster, similar to the tools we have available for web development. I really hope you enjoy using Swift Bootstrap, it's just an exploration of an idea at this stage and I'm keen to take it further. Please let me know how I can improve the existing product, and what aspects of iOS development you would like to see included! Thank you for taking the time to check out Swift Bootstrap, and thanks a lot to @robjama for hunting!

This looks very promising. I'd love to see some example/demos of what a final solution would look, but it's pretty cool so far. Congrats!

@yaraher thank you Alvaro! I'll put together some examples of iOS apps using Swift Bootstrap, that's an awesome idea. There are GitHub links in the header that you can check out as well :)

@kristofertm thank you Kris, I intend to!

Awesome tools like this combined with BaaS products like Parse have made it so that getting an iOS app up and running is easier/faster than ever. Keep up the good work man!

@ghobs91 thank you! I definitely think there should be more tools out there so we can encourage more people to make better apps. Really appreciate the comment :)

Lucas - you recently spoke about your amazing goal for the year (episode 302 of The App Guy Podcast which everyone here should listen to). Swift Bootstrap is brilliant work. Keep up the awesome projects and congratulations on crushing it today on PH!

@paul_s_kemp thank you so much Paul! Listening to your podcast inspired me to get started with Swift Bootstrap, I'm so grateful to you for creating it!

If you are developing or designing a swift app. Use this tool! I have been using the color palette and it has significantly improved the look of my apps. I used to start with one color but after that I fumble. Awesome tool, looking forward to seeing what else you bring to the collection. keep it up :)

@imaiexander thank you Alexander, I'm so happy to hear that you've found Swift Bootstrap useful! Let me know any areas you think I could focus on when adding more features!
Mohammed ElBalkini
That's extraordinary i am so excited to try it out, i am new to iOS development and sure such tool will be helpful to start playing around

@mbalkini I'm keen to hear your feedback! Let me know how you get on, I hope it helps with your learning :)
Mohammed ElBalkini
@lucasjgordon @mbalkini First thing, it is so simple and clear regarding usage and generating of swift files. second the most exciting part i 100% sure will use it more and more is the user on boarding and the screenshot creation part. this part is really useful and time saving. great job Lucas. I wish you best of luck
Lucas Gordon

@mbalkini glad to hear that it's simple to use, I tried hard to refine the user experience as much as possible. Ok, very interesting to hear that these are the two most useful tools. Can you think of any aspects of iOS development that are a little repetitive, that could be included in Swift Bootstrap? Thanks again :)
Johannes Engl
This looks like a very promising tool! Can't wait to try it out!

@johannesengl thanks Johannes, really glad to hear that you like it! Let me know how you get on, and if there's anything I can improve.

For anyone interested, we have just launched a new tool for Apple developers - Storyboard to SwiftUI Converter - https://storyboard2swiftui.com/ We are featured on Product Hunt today!
