Motivation

Short

I want to make this repo as an alternative to build mobile applications with OpenUI5

Long

The first motivation to create this repo is because HAT is out of maintenance since this post but in the moment that they announced this post the SAP Web Ide was working right now the only chose is the SAP Business application studio and it does not comes anymore with HAT 😌.

In the meantime the OpenUI5 team are releasing web components to develop react/vue/angular based applications. I think they are going through the right way and hopefully in an closer future they start any react-native based project 😏 😏 .
