SwiftUI on the Linux desktop looks EXTREMELY promising. Native gnome with accessible and familiar syntax. It’s possible right now (not speculative), if you’re brave enough to be the first to deploy it (I certainly might be…before end of year).
topaz is swift only, but that absolutely does not mean it is Apple only. A thoroughly native Linux desktop client would be huge. It’s very very attainable from a technical perspective. 🤷🏻♂️🤔
Still waiting for Swift on Android to catch up….Windows is also hopelessly behind (shocking I know).
I’ve been silent on topaz platform support. The repo exists…I know people view it…and I’m sure people recognize it’s an iOS app.
Have no fear, this app is NOT staying in the walled garden. This is simply the start. My bead & butter trade is in writing very high performance C & Swift code for Linux…I’m NEVER reaching for the “Apple Platform” libraries. I’m just here for the language as an open source initiative.
On top of iOS being an obvious entry point for a swift project, CakeWallet started as a Swift app so beginning here also gives a nice nod to the brand and the guy supporting my developments here (Vik)
