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.

What's the best way to create a native phone app with web dev skills?
Ratchet, Ionic, Cordova.

Apache Cordova: If you know, or want to learn, web design, Cordova is what you want to go with as you can make native iOS and Android apps with this. Here are all the features they support by platform.

Phaser vs PixiJS for making 2D games
Browser games can be played on desktop or mobile devices; they may also be compiled to native mobile apps by using third-party tools such as Cordova. It's important that your 2D game has a responsive layout. Phaser has a Scale Manager that handles scaling, resizing, and alignment; it also has a full-screen mode. When using PixiJS, you need to create a responsive layout manually. This can be tricky with more complex layouts.

React Native vs Flutter
The first such equalizer was the creation of PhoneGap by Nitobi in 2011. It was later acquired by Adobe, which turned it into Cordova. Cordova is a cross-platform open-source mobile app development environment. It allowed you to write apps using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, converting them into code that interacted with the platforms' APIs. Sure, it provided cross-platform interoperability, but the platforms still treated it as a web element and, in essence, was neither a full web nor a fully native app.

EU negotiators agree new rules to rein in tech giants
Aside from Xcode? Xcode is great, but pretty heavily scoped with a steep learning curve. If you like a lighterweight IDE, you can use Atom - but there are so many ways to deploy to iOS these days if you don't want to do the heavy lifting of learning Swift or ObjC - for instance React-native, for instance. Or Cordova (remember when it was PhoneGap? Given you do not appear to know what you are talking about - no, I suspect you do not). Or (Ionic)[https://ionicframework.com/].

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.

I want to learn some low level typed language, should I learn Go or Rust?
Fair enough! I’d personally recommend Godot, because it’s FOSS, has a really nice way of doing things (in my opinion), and a language that’s similar enough to Go that when I was first learning Go I’d frequently use terms from GDScript! It’s the kind of think you can learn in a few hours. Give it a shot if you’re just getting into dev!

Can we make games using react native? Im new to this and I just made some to do, and video player apps. So I'm just curious so I can make iOS and playstore apps.
I believe most game developers would rather focus on making the game though, instead of figuring out how to make things work in React Native. In those cases, the best option is to just stick with game engines like Godot.
