PWAs wont replace native iOS apps
Anyone have experience with/opinions on Apache Cordova? [1]
It seems like it would solve most of the PWA issues. Although I vaguely recall reading that Apple is not too fond of apps that are basically just wrapped web views.

Why does everyone "suddenly" hate Single Page Apps?
A little over a decade ago, I worked on the open-source project Apache Cordova/Adobe PhoneGap, first at IBM and later at Adobe. Apache Cordova enables you to build mobile applications using HTML, CSS and JavaScript while targeting multiple platforms with one code base. In today’s technology landscape, mobile is dominated by iOS and Android. In the early 2010’s we were awash in mobile platforms from BlackBerry, Microsoft, Firefox, Tizen, etc. Targeting multiple platforms, including the web, from one codebase was a game changer for overworked development teams.

The right way to build multi platform apps in 2023 using web tech. ?
There are layers that offer access to native APIs like capacitor, cordova and nativescript. Apparently sometimes multiple of them should be used, but I didn't understand what are the differences even after reading the announcement. These seem to be frontend agnostic technologies and Capacitor is apparently the more modern choice at the moment.

How to bypass mobile app review thanks to Capacitor, Ionic, and micro frontends 🤯
To be honest, we have not only Capacitor but also Cordova which Capacitor is based on but because Capacitor is more popular, has better community, deals with some problems better, and works beautifully with Ionic Framework I will tell more in a second, I simply recommend Capacitor.

Wrapping WebApp inside a WebView
Apache Cordova is an example of this. It is also useful if you need to access native code (the camera, database, etc), or to use just as a WebView Container as an application to deploy to the Play store/ App Store

Tetris Development 1 - Setting Up
Instead, I was recommended Godot by a fellow developer. It is an easy-to-pickup and beginner-friendly open-source engine, which I will use to develop the Tetris game.

Ask HN: Yo wants to build a game, I'm lost. What can I do?
Godot [1] is a very nice game engine. There's a game on Itch.io that teaches the scripting language it uses [2], and a ton of great tutorials on YouTube for beginners and experts alike.

My thought on different engines
Godot Engine is a free and open-source game engine. The story started as an in-house engine of an Argentinian studio in 2007, and since 2014, it's been a community-driven project with a lot of contributors.
