This is incredibly awesome! Did you get inspired by the web or by new frameworks like flutter?

This looks very similar to Flutter, I wouldn't be surprised if they took some ideas from that which is all well and good; UI construction needs a facelift.

I think if flutter can provide this kind of editor support and experience it would be indispensable for me! Also I'm pretty sure the web would emulate this one pretty soon!

That is exactly what I said when I saw the code on the screen. Now if they released a development environment for Android also.... (wishful thinking)

If you want a Flutter-inspired framework that works on iOS and Android, have you considered, uh, Flutter?

If you mean and official declarative UI library then Google released one of those at Google IO this year:

I am very interested in multi-platform Kotlin. I'm not sure how far it will get but on the surface I think it is more likely for Kotlin to work on iOS than Swift on Android.

Still learning about compose.

Who knows... With Chris Lattner at Google and Google adopting Swift for TensorFlow, I could well imagine Swift eventually working on Android (or something newer).
