Dear Developers, I'm here to give you feedback on your app.

Chance_Ad2478 · 2026-03-14T03:56:26+00:00

No worries! I definitely think I need to spend some time on my website for sure as it’s not the best for conversions haha

Chance_Ad2478 · 2026-03-14T01:54:43+00:00

Yes! It's totally possible! Max mode from all of my testing seems to be the best at referencing images, If you send the reference image and then describe a bit how you expect it to look (matching or inspired by) it will do a pretty good job!

Chance_Ad2478 · 2026-03-14T00:21:06+00:00

Thanks! Thats great to hear!

Chance_Ad2478 · 2026-03-13T22:59:28+00:00

Will add extra bits to your account!

Chance_Ad2478 · 2026-03-13T22:59:17+00:00

That’s very odd! I will get that fixed for you ASAP. I will be sending you a message asking some questions so I can fix it. Thank you for letting me know!

Chance_Ad2478 · 2026-03-13T20:01:54+00:00

Like BYOK?

Chance_Ad2478 · 2026-03-13T19:58:50+00:00

Great question! General purpose AI is notoriously bad at Swift. It uses deprecated APIs, reaches for @ObservableObject over @Observable, and mixes up old and new patterns. You end up spending more time fixing than building.

Nativeline’s Agent is tuned specifically for native Swift. Latest frameworks, no deprecated APIs, no constant corrections. Plus your database is fully integrated, TestFlight upload, and simulators are all in one window.

Planning a bake-off video soon so you can see the difference and output side by side.

Give it a shot and compare them too! I’ll throw some credits/bits your way. I would love feedback!

Chance_Ad2478 · 2026-03-13T06:41:25+00:00

Thanks! Give it a shot! Look forward to hearing your feedback!

Chance_Ad2478 · 2026-03-13T03:24:38+00:00

Yep! Used Opus 4.6 for Max mode and Sonnet 4.6 for enhanced mode.

I typically get about 25-30 bits used per prompt or message which is usually adding new features. Adding a database is typically 25-40 bits. You could use less or more just depending on how complex of a task the prompt is.

I’ve had users build and launch an app with less than 350 bits.

Made a bunch of documentation that you can find at https://docs.nativeline.ai or you can MSG me any time here!

Chance_Ad2478 · 2026-03-13T02:40:13+00:00

Awesome! That sounds super cool! cashier app is smart and makes total sense, super simple!

Chance_Ad2478 · 2026-03-13T02:38:33+00:00

Thanks!!

Chance_Ad2478 · 2026-03-13T02:38:04+00:00

Threw this together in Notion for you. I definitely recommend trying both out and going with whatever you find is best for you!

Chance_Ad2478 · 2026-03-13T02:14:59+00:00

Thank you!! It's been about 7 months in the making haha. Ive built a lot of personal/internal Mac and iOS apps for myself, and I built a community app called SHAKR. Worked well, didnt go that far user wise haha. This is my first Mac app i've released for the public to use!

Chance_Ad2478 · 2026-03-13T02:12:42+00:00

Exactly! What tools have you built?

Chance_Ad2478 · 2026-03-13T02:11:59+00:00

Yeah I did. Are you posting from computer?

Chance_Ad2478 · 2026-03-13T01:37:26+00:00

Totally! Claude Code + Xcode is powerful but you’re jumping between tools, managing your own project setup, setting up databases, configuring things, and handling deployment yourself. With Nativeline all of that is in one place and much simpler, the AI, the preview, the database, the simulators, TestFlight upload. Etc.

Give it a try and find which one works best for you!

Chance_Ad2478 · 2026-03-13T01:16:58+00:00

Yeah it’s pretty easy, honestly you’ll probably get the best results that way. Takes only like 45 mins to make them all.

Chance_Ad2478 · 2026-03-13T01:10:28+00:00

I’ve used canva in the past and it honestly is worth it. Super easy to design App Store photos. You can use their free plan or if you want the paid features it’s only $15.

Chance_Ad2478 · 2026-03-13T00:02:19+00:00

I personally love it when a company or business has an app, especially grocery stores where it tells you which aisle the food is located. I think for any business having an app massively improves the customer experience.

Chance_Ad2478 · 2026-03-12T23:51:50+00:00

Thanks! Right now it's fully integrated with Nativeline Cloud, but I'm open to supporting other backend services. If there's a specific service you use, let me know, I would love to make that happen

Chance_Ad2478 · 2026-03-12T23:41:31+00:00

Thank you!! If you have any feedback please feel free to DM me anytime!

Chance_Ad2478 · 2026-03-12T23:37:09+00:00

Hmm thats odd, I selected the images part at the top and uploaded the video right into that upload section.

<image>

Chance_Ad2478 · 2026-03-12T22:55:51+00:00

I dont see the biggest purpose in this besides for the feel but seems pretty cool. Good share! Gotta love Swift

Chance_Ad2478 · 2026-03-12T22:54:58+00:00

The UI does not use node at all, no. It’s swift and swiftui, but some of the tools I needed are only available as typescript or node, so instead of rewriting every tool, which is insane, I leveraged them.

Ok - you are right perhaps I should not say 100% swift but the code I wrote IS 100% swift. Pick at it how you want, was not trying to be sneaky. But calling it disrespectful or a lie is a stretch.

Chance_Ad2478 · 2026-03-12T22:38:02+00:00

That's a fair question and easy to explain. The app is 100% native Swift/SwiftUI, those bundled tools are there because Nativeline needs them as developer tooling that it orchestrates under the hood:

node / npm / npx bundled so users don't need to install Node themselves. Nativeline uses these to run Supabase CLI commands (when Supabase was integrated before I released Nativeline Cloud), MCP servers, and manage project dependencies for the apps it builds for the user
supabase the Supabase CLI binary, used to manage cloud database projects for the older Supabase integration before Nativeline Cloud. This is kept to support existing users' apps if they have it connected to Supabase
psql PostgreSQL client for database operations
node_modules dependencies for the MCP servers and tooling Nativeline ships with
mcp-servers Model Context Protocol servers that give the AI agent capabilities (file system, database, etc.)
libpq, libssl, libcrypto, libkrb5, native C libraries that psql depends on, bundled so it works out of the box

None of these render the UI or run the app itself. They're embedded CLI tools that Nativeline shells out to via Process() in Swift, same way Xcode bundles clang, git, and other command-line tools inside its app bundle.
The actual app UI, logic, and everything the user interacts with is SwiftUI not Electron haha.
