Welcome to Hotwire Native Weekly!
Hi, I’m Joe Masilotti, the Hotwire Native guy. I write a weekly newsletter for Rails developers who want to ship iOS and Android apps without becoming mobile experts.
Every week I share practical tips, code snippets, and lessons learned from building 25+ Hotwire Native apps over the last decade. You’ll find everything from quick one-liners to deep dives on bridging native features - all while reusing your existing business logic.
I started this newsletter to lower the barrier for developers to get their apps on the App Store and Google Play. If you want to launch a mobile app without rebuilding everything from scratch, you’re in the right place.
Fun facts about Joe:
I live in Portland, Oregon and spend as much time as I can outdoors.
I’m an on-again, off-again sourdough baker (when I have the time!).
I’ve built 25+ Hotwire Native apps over 10+ years, mostly for clients.
I gave a keynote at Rails World to 800+ developers.
I’m the author of the bestselling book, Hotwire Native for Rails Developers:
