Okay...this is insane 🤯 I got Inertia.js running in combination with React Native Laravel on iOS Communicating with InertiaJS Rendering native UI elements 😎

For those asking: Yes, this is built based on the NativePHP iOS early access version from @simonhamp which currently uses webviews. Really cool to hack on this and see how far we can push the limits

I just launched an all-in-one template for cross-platform development, based on the stack I use myself everyday. Expo, NextJS, TypeScript, Tailwind, Firebase, AppsFlyer, Authentication, Analytics, In-App Purchases, Stripe and a lot more, setup by default.

@inertiajs I think you’re the reason I’m not so productive. You’re using up a higher percentage of the universe’s available productivity

@inertiajs But the people on Reddit said it wasn’t possible!!!

@inertiajs This is crazy! 🤯. You’ve entered uncharted waters.

@inertiajs This is cool, but what value exactly does laravel add for what is essentially a client side development over pure RN? This feels like a whole lot of infrastructure for little benefit?

@inertiajs It's pretty much the same as developing a Vue/React based app with Inertia. Laravel handles the routing, validation and "backend" logic for fetching models etc. while RN is just the frontend layer

@inertiajs 🤯🤯🤯

@inertiajs Show us the way!!!

@inertiajs The evil spirit

@inertiajs 2025 and I’m seeing PHP as mobile development…….. LFG!!!
