" summary

Claims a return to a server-rendered core with lots of native wrapping: a majestic monolith handling HTML with small native layers, using Turbolinks web views plus Swift and Kotlin. Surprising specifics: mobile vs desktop split and tiny teams — two iOS programmers and two Android, four core web devs — building Hey.com and extracting Action Mailbox/Active Storage. Notes on tooling: Rails, Ruby, selective TypeScript and RuboCop usage; Hey launch delays mean the full demo appears when the product ships.
