I started building this since none of the tools I tried really cut the mark for me, it’s either too difficult to setup or doesn’t provide everything I wanted to access. To think it’s 2026 and this is still a problem me and others face is crazy.
I’ve been building HomeCloud, an app which will let you access and control your other devices: files, photos, music, terminal etc. And it’s finally available for download. https://t.co/SFxcwx2y1k
Nonetheless Im amazed by how well they managed to imitate the native look and feel on both windows and macos down to the last detail on Kothlin Compose. Im not aware of any public library that provides this out of box for compose today. 🫡
@blipnet is really impressive-
available on all platforms and with native UI everywhere. Not something you see everyday. This made me curious - what exactly is their cross platform strategy, are they reusing any of their code, if so how? Some interesting findings:
This means they must be using Kothlin Multiplaform to reuse the core business logic parts and build the UI in Kothlin Compose for desktops and most probably native UIs on mobile (swift on ios).
@BajajKunal25 @jain_harshit At groww we take a different approach, QA is expected to come up with various different scenarios that the dev didn’t think about. Not saying it’s better but this sure brings a new outsider’s perspective that developers often miss.
