Introducing Dactyl Dactyl is a vibe coding platform for native iOS and native Android apps. What's interesting about it is the device simulator: we've built a SwiftUI renderer in WASM. This means as you're developing, you get low latency in browser canvas simulation of the app to play with. Also things like oauth flows happen in the browser. If the app uses the camera - the browser camera API allows us to display it in the simulator. We also let you connect your ChatGPT subscription so you don't have to buy tokens through us (+ markup) Through [magic] - we can run the same SwiftUI code the agent writes for iOS in android, with native components. This is the work of @undefined_void (primarily), @piscisaureus, myself, and others at Deno. It's built on Durable Objects perhaps unsurprisingly https://dactyl.dev/
