Native SDK ships since launch Many Windows/Linux fixes + polish → npm package assets fixed → Windows DPI + WebView2 → sharper geometry → overflowing inputs fixed → cross-drive Windows apps → native-only Windows/Linux builds → lazy Linux WebView startup

@ctatedev Installed all skills, and it has been running for around 30 minutes, just fighting to build. I thought it would be a one-shot. Harness: opencode Model: big pickle Stopped it and tried with Opus in CC. Same problem. Got it built by luck after 1 hour.

Grok 4.5 is pretty good at building with Native SDK. Just built an image compressor native windows app to compress any images into a very small webp image. I built this with Grok Build. Check this out:

@sonnylazuardi @alire8za Fixed in v0.4.2. Apps now declare Per-Monitor V2, the canvas rasterizes at real device scale and dragging between monitors with different scaling re-rasterizes live Thanks for flagging!

@hablatutu Good catch - rounded fills/borders had no AA at all and apps weren't fully DPI-aware Fixed in v0.4.2

@ctatedev The default app after running "native dev" had aliasing issues around round elements on my win11 system, specifically buttons, but I don't see that on this video. Any idea what's going on?

nullptr 🐱🍩@notnullptr·4d

people have an obsession with “native” apps, but what really IS native? this doesn’t use the platform’s controls. it won’t look like a macOS app on macOS, nor like a windows app on windows. this is about as native as react native, the only difference is this is compiled
