Hi @susanmariosarsfield
I donât believe any tech exists today (atleast to my knowledge) that converts html to native code. That actually doesnât make any sense from a technical standpoint.
If you want to use Nativescript or React Native why even bother with bubble? There are no-code pure native code generators like Adalo, Thunkable etc. If youâre looking for native code, bubble is not the right place to look. The only place for bubble in such an approach is as-a-backend. For this youâre probably better off using a non-bubble solution like AWS amplify admin or something else so that you have unrestricted access to your backend with great performance.
BDK Native isnât just a webview, but rather a native environment that plugs into the bubble app. There are lots of native feature & modules of the device, which bubble app gets to control. Also, our customers donât need to do technical stuff like app compilation, deal with provisioning & keystores, or generate certificates. This is the same philosophy as bubble wherein a bubbler doesnât need to provision databases or servers to build webapps.
The objective behind bdk native is to extend the power & flexibility of bubble into the native environment without reducing the speed of development and iteration for bubblers. Hence I donât have any plan to remove bubble from that equation. Fwiw regarding price, by the time you are done with a 4-hour introductory meeting with a react / pure native developer, you would have already spent more on development than entire bdk native solution.
Iâd recommend also to take a alternate perspective from bubblers who have built bubble-based apps & native apps. They serve tens of thousands of users, while already fundraising and without having spent thousands of dollars on hiring coders. I think the response you will hear is that native code is superior in performance but vastly inferior in building & iterating a business fast.
