As a web developer, it is amazing to see another language having an access point to front-end development. Great work! I was surprised to see Bootstrap being used, it seemed more people have leaned more into Tailwind but seeing as how Bootstrap is more component-based than CSS-flexible, it does make sense to have that structure for the Swift components.

This is such an exciting project. Thanks Paul.

Amazing! Simple and so clever! Thanks so much, Paul, learning every time!

Bravo! Couple of weeks ago i was making html + css code work in swift project, and doesn't even think that it can be done that way. Awesome, as always.

First time I am interested in web development. Thanks Paul :)

This is great Paul! I've recently started working on my personal website and was looking into SSGs. Imagine my surprise when I came across this video

Paul Hudson you are a mad genius. Great ideas, great video.

My man did the thing I've been waiting for for years. Im getting emotional rn

We love this kind of content diving into the more niche areas of SwiftUI, Id love to see more Mapkit videos

That is a great work done! Thank you! And hope to see some clips from you on building web sites using Ignite!

Watching this video on my way to Japan, so well done !

Awesome video Paul! I will try it out for my new blog, thank you! (And great explanation of Result builders 👏🏻)

Never thought I’d see this day. Awesome!

Paul, You're The Best! I'am gonna try it!

I really hope you never stop your good works. I hope you see this. I haven’t quite gotten to the level of understanding these at all. However, I’m passionate about building amazing things and I know I’ll get to the point where your videos will become useful. But I’ll wet the ground to walk on a ground with coolness later on. Parable. I’m a designer currently looking out for Swift tutorials that can explain it to me in design terms. Haven’t quite seen yet. But I notice your videos show up more and more in my search.

Amazing work. Lot of thanks.

Aye what!? Never thought that this would ever be a thing... Im going to start as soon as I can...

Such a nice job bro! Job well done 😮🎉

I usually don’t leave comment, but you get my attention. Well Done Man 👍🏻

I will build a website next week with Ignite. I cant wait.

This is awesome idea. I was thinking about this while learning 100 days swift project on embabed html in swift.

This is amazing I will defenitly switch from dart to swift

That's looks insane!

So if I want to make some changes in my html code (eg, text), do i have to compile the XCode app every time to see the changes? In html files, we don't need to compile our Node.js or any web app!

this is so sick man

Very cool! Could this be used with Vapor to dynamically generate HTML pages entirely in Swift?

Wow this is amazing 🙌🏾🔥🔥🔥

Thank you!

Awesome work with your Ignite project. I also see that it is actually meant to build static website, any change that it could be use for generating server-side website in future ?

This is cool. This is one step closer to freeing me from the JS ecosystem.

More power to Swift

That reminds me John Sundell's "Publish" which can be used to generate HTML Websites with Swift Code... Very similar but more intuitive. :) Thanks Paul.

question... when you have this webpage, because it is swift, could you somehow package this to then work as an iOS app so you could then add notifications, bluetooth access, etc? That would be a cool video...

At the moment I needed a way to develop a static website for my brand, just curious how does ignite helps with SEO ?

And is this adaptable to Vapor, or similar Swift based web frameworks for dynamic HTML?

this is amazing

great job

another one of those: "why didn't I think of this" ideas 🙈 😅 amazing work, man, forking now, have some additional ideas that might make sense

Awesome!🎉

Could this be done in any programming language?

"But what happens if I forget this closing ?" You mean, just like you forgot the closing ? Browsers apparently accept the fact that some tags don't have to be closed.

Minor thing: AFAIK the '/' in "self closing" tags are ignored nowadays. Just using is _slightly_ more correct than . The forward slash is in fact misleading since e.g. will just start a new div and not self close.

Every day passed and I realized, I loved you more than yesterday. I want to be a coder like you. I am passionate like you but not that much skilled. Pray for me ❤. By the way, thanks for this amazing Library. 💌

Incredible….

Can you publish to GitHub pages?

What a great news 😎

I never knew it was possible to build a website using swift. Is it done in Xcode? Does swiftUI work?

Would this make it easier to make a web app from an iOS app?

Blazor?

Impressive.

Amazing Video. Can you create video how to publish the site?

Is this meant to run on a server alongside a server framework (e.g., Express, etc) or is this meant for emitting static html via a build script?

Hey You’re doing great job by creating lgnite, full filing purposes of swift as general purpose language keep it up. Can you please let me know how can we develop dynamic website using swift only? By using ignite with vapor or so.

👍🏻

It’s really nice but will it solves all the html related problems at the beginning?

I just don’t understand how/where to host the SwiftUI platform. I don’t think that my hosting service provides this.

For Android devs, there is native support to use Compose ( the android equivalent of SwiftUI) on the web, you dont have to use HTML. Its unfortunate SwiftUI is not open source. So for native iOS devs the swiftUI skills cannot be directly used to build UI on the web like Android...

dont already have react and nextjs?

Will this work on Linux?

awesome

Sincere question: who has this problem now days? I haven’t worried about editing proper html in what seems like decades. Every good editor now has good linting.

Actually this already exist in kotlin

you lost me at html language lol

Build yout next Crysis in Php!

Backend next so i can do full stack iOS with swift only haha

I would love it if we could develop an Android app using Swift...

Yes! Yess!! Yessss!!!! Eat it Rust. Eat it Go. Eat it C. Eat it Ada. Eat it Nim. Eat it C trash trash. Eat it OCAML. Eat it Zig. Eat it Crystal. Eat it Elixir. Eat it Erlang. Eat it Clojure. Eat it Scala. Eat it C#. Eat it Objective-C. Odin, V-y’all are cool.

for somehow, it looks like react.

I’m just waiting for Swift Next.JS. I’m gonna be on that like a fat kid in a candy store…

2:26 The Swift way of doing it looks awkward to me.

JavaScript and Swift seem pretty similar, so it’d be natural to expand Swift’s capabilities into the web realm

😵‍💫

Damn, it had to be bootstrap….

As a web developer moving to iOS and I say, Bootstrap is outdated and cumbersome! I would go with Tailwind, but all these tools are really cool!

It reminds me of a Java JSP 🙂

And then stick it in a webview of your mobile app 😂

It feels to me that it brings more new stuff to learn without guarantee of scalability for a big project. I’m not learning something new for the sake of wasting time. I would just stick to typescript and react for now. It needs more work

Bad idea. HTML is simple enough to learn

ultimately it will end up becoming html then why bother with this so much layers

Just another try of replace classic html that will fail soon

I don't think it's going to be successful.

Let’s get rid of build steps people. Just learn HTML

As a human that abhorres HTML, I have to say, this is truly an abomination. You must repent for such sacrilegious actions.
