Was chatting with a friend today and was finally able to vocalize one of the big things that's been nibbling at my brain.

When it comes to building mobile apps, where is our equivalent of Wordpress or Shopify or Drupal? Why is it that every single app must start over from "Hello world" and build from there?

@davedelong I think UIKit/AppKit/SwiftUI is just a lower level version of Wordpress/Drupal. We don‘t have a box of UIViewControllers to adjust and work with, but a box of UIViews (to use UIKit parlance). And I think that‘s way better, as the other option would lead to more same-looking apps.

@chbeer @davedelong And cool things like Core Data and Photos libraries and more.
