You forgot to add the pricing lol.

Professional $99 / month $999 / year
Small Business* $29 / month $299 / year

Apart from that, it looks great on the eye, I think when It comes to building complex apps, tweaking database structures, implementing clean architecture and others, then it becomes complex to use Skip.

Skip is a paid service which companies will not want to pay for knowing they would still require hiring devs and paying them monthly or on contractual basis, skip can decide to increase their subscription and then you're stuck on their technology.

It is also bad for Freelancers, If someone hires me on Upwork to create an App, and I deliver it with Skip, that means for the client to upgrade the features of the app tomorrow, the next developer the client hires has to heavily rely on Skip as well. It is a lose-lose situation.

But Compose Multiplatform Native UI is free to use, we can also use AI (Chatgpt and Gemini) to convert Kotlin to Swift when we need to, so why would I want to pay for a service when Gemini is free.

Thanks I forgot but it is expensive the developer said he needs supports to continue the project . Flutter, MAUI, React Native and compose multi platform are free .

Yes I totally understand that aspect, and I think companies like intelliJ or Google can even purchase his company and implement his solution because it is awesome. I saw that he ran both iOS and Android app all with one button. I was seriously impressed.

The best bet he can get is for a larger company to adopt his company and pay him millions of dollars.

That isnhow Firebase, Android etc was created, Google purchase Firebase and the Android technologies for a separate company to build on it.

Only 4 contributors in skip repositories . I also love the idea because you don't have to change the codebase for both iOS and android that is amazing.
