Original: Unify Web and Mobile Development with OTF's Cross-Platform Components
Short summary
OTF proposes a shared component API pattern where the same name and props render to platform-native primitives on web (DOM), iOS (SwiftUI), and Android (Compose). The approach ships ~200 components across two npm packages with identical variant taxonomies, accepting runtime differences while unifying the component contract. TypeScript catches prop mismatches at build time, preventing divergence before it ships.
- •OTF ships ~200 cross-platform components with identical APIs across web, iOS, and Android
- •Same component name and props resolve to platform-native renderers underneath
- •TypeScript flags cross-platform prop mismatches at build time
