This talk pushed devs to try Hotwire Native
My Rails World keynote recording is live - watch how we’re making native apps possible for small teams.
Hey friends,
Rails World 2025 was a whirlwind: 800+ developers, two packed days, and I got to give my first ever keynote! If you couldn’t make it to Amsterdam (or just want to relive it), the full recording is now live on YouTube.
In my talk, I share:
why native apps feel impossible for small teams.
how Hotwire Native lowers the barrier to shipping on iOS and Android.
the bridge component library that makes adding native features dead-simple.
It’s now the single-best starting point if you’re curious about building a mobile app with Rails. Several folks told me afterward that this was the push they needed to finally try Hotwire Native for themselves.
