Just out of curiosity, how did that get brought up?

Will this take TikTok's (or even Reel's) marketshare? No. Will it get enough users to take off in the first place? Also probably not (see bobnamob's comment). This is still really awesome. It's an awesome app and an even cooler project.

This is really really awesome. The only thing is I feel like it would be heavily reliant on SwiftUI/Jetpack Compose and so breaking changes would break the entire codebase until the tool is updated since there is no 'runtime'. I'm also curious how hacky workarounds would be transpiled over to Compose, since in my experience SwiftUI can involve lots of hacks in order to get something more unconventional working properly.

Yeah, we still leverage UICollectionView a lot even in SwiftUI as there’s no suitable replacement, grids have a bunch of downsides still right now.
