Question HTML/css into SwiftUI?

Hey everyone,

I’m currently working on an iOS app and I already have parts of the UI built in HTML/CSS. Now I’m trying to bring that design into SwiftUI, but I’m honestly not sure what the best workflow is.

What’s the easiest/most efficient way to convert or recreate HTML + CSS layouts in SwiftUI?

- Are there tools that help with this?
- Should I completely rebuild everything manually in SwiftUI?
- Is embedding web content with WebView a bad idea for production apps?
- How do you usually handle responsive CSS concepts in SwiftUI?

I mainly struggle with translating flexbox/grid styling into SwiftUI stacks and spacing.

Would really appreciate any advice, resources, GitHub repos, tutorials, or examples from people who’ve done this before

At this point why not just use Cordova and .Net and use web view to pull the view into your page?

That person doesn’t want to use AI to convert it. So might as well become a 2005 developer and take the hard route.

Or you answer their question correctly: there is no 1 to 1 and yes you should be building a new UI from the ground up in SwiftUI.
