What it does
Most boilerplates pick one platform. We pair true native iOS (SwiftUI) + Android (Compose) with a Rails 8.1 API — three platforms, one stack. What's new in 2.0: the Rails API is now fully open source (MIT), plus iOS 26 + Liquid Glass support, Claude Code-ready CLAUDE.md guidance, Rails 8.1 upgrade. Stand-out: true native (not RN/Flutter), pay-once (no subscription), production-tested (extracted from a live App Store/Play Store app), free OSS clients to evaluate.
The fastest way to build a Rails-backed native iOS/Android SaaS app. Authentication, multitenancy, roles, and CRUD — all wired up.
Authentication, multitenancy, roles, and CRUD — all wired up. iOS 26 · Liquid Glass · Jetpack Compose · Rails 8.1 · Claude Code-ready . nativeapptemplate-agent — a Claude Code agent that turns a one-sentence spec (e.g. “a walk-in queue for a barbershop” ) into a renamed, validated three-platform implementation: a Rails 8.1 API, a SwiftUI iOS app, and a Jetpack Compose Android app. Free / MIT. "The only boilerplate that pairs true native Swift iOS and Kotlin Android apps with a Ruby on Rails API backend." Each app template includes full source code. Pick the platform that matches your project. The Rails API backend is free and open source.…from nativeapptemplate.com

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
