Let's go beyond the Hello World (Skippers) App... By what general process would I start moving my existing app into a ... skip framework?
Step 1: Do I start from a blank project in Xcode? OR - (my best guess) start from the Hello-Skip app with the structure and working code.
Step 2: What can I file-copy over to the new (renamed - yeah how?) Hello-Skip app that has other dependencies...? I guess at some point it requires everything be copied.
Step 3: So then I try to compile in Xcode... and it kicks in the SkipStone Transpiler... something is going to break... What's the general guidance for fixing / ignoring / redesigning...
Surely you have more advice to give along this topic...
What to do first...
What to do last or much later...
What is not (YET) going to work...
For example - SF Symbols... Colors... Fonts... etc.
Maybe you could explain the deeper meaning behind your Module meaning. e.g. "Skip is designed to accommodate and encourage using multi-module projects." I'm just a simple App builder... no modules required. What might I benefit from?
As they have not yet written but one page of Documentations ... maybe we first adopters are going to have to blaze this trail.
