Red Goose – Convert your website to mobile app
Hi HN! I am Marvin Danig, a developer from Washington DC, and I am building Red Goose (https://goose.red). Red Goose is a web app to mobile app conversion engine that produces ready-to-publish apps for the app stores using GitHub repos. There was a discussion on HN a few weeks ago about how a developer shaved off almost half of their native app's code without losing functionality [1]. Our launch today is a direct outcome of that thread and, moreso, in the context of this comment [2] and this one [3]. Paraphrasing the context below: > "Fastmail is the only email/calendar app…

In plain words
Red Goose is a conversion engine that transforms websites into mobile applications ready for app store publication by using GitHub repositories as source material.

The tool aims to streamline app development by leveraging existing web projects rather than requiring separate native codebases.

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…

A couple of years ago, I had an interesting idea. What if there was a marketplace where all the underlying tech was open-source? The order management system, the storefront, customer support, etc. The marketplace would simply connect to the seller’s infra instead of locking them in. If, for some reason, the seller is removed from the marketplace, their software stays with them and they can continue accepting orders directly. This model can be used to disrupt any marketplace from AirBNB to UberEats: building tech for home renters and restaurants and later, leveraging that to build a competing…
