Introduction to Hotwire Native
I gave this talk at the January 2026 NYC.rb Meetup. The talk was recorded and I’ll be posting the video soon. The code from the talk can be seen in this repository.
Abstract
Hotwire Native is a set of JavaScript, iOS and Android libraries that allow developers to build iOS and Android apps with native capabilities using mostly Ruby on Rails. Mike will introduce Hotwire Native and describe how a developer can quickly use it to transform their Rails app to a native app. He will then show how to write native code to support more advanced features like OAuth.
