I'm playing with cash app redwood stuff and I'm looking for the redwood-layout-dom artifact on maven but don't see it. is this module expected to be published or am I missing it somewhere?

I believe it landed after 0.1. 0.2 should be Monday or Tuesday and will include it.

Am I correct in assuming this is a library that focuses on Web? I have trouble understanding the why from the readme. I understand the reduced agility for developing for all platforms. But are we now moving to the web again and how does this incorporate into an iOS app for instance?

[jw]

No. It's for native apps. The DOMs is native to the web. On iOS it uses UIKit or Swift UI.

[Arjan van Wieringen]

Ah clear. So it is a full multi platform UI library. I suppose MPP Compose Experimental is already capable of doing this in some way, but you’re building this out on your own?

[jw]

Multiplatform Compose UI does not use the native UI toolkit on each platform.

[Arjan van Wieringen]

I was misunderstanding this I suppose: “With Redwood, we hope to use the web as our development target while we iterate on composable function changes.”

[jw]

Yeah the documentation is lacking. If you're interested we gave a talk on it recently: https://jakewharton.com/native-ui-with-multiplatform-compose/

Great! Thanks
