pwa-module VS capacitor

My go-to is https://pwa.nuxtjs.org/ + pwabuilder. You can have the barebones scaffolding made in 1 minute. Then just add your custom UI/logic, and deploy, and point the PWA Builder at the deployed Nuxt site, and it will generate your App store package.

In terms of stack I would recommend taking a look at Vue and Nuxt. There is a PWA module for Nuxt, which handles everything for you, so you literally only need to add 5 lines of config (implementing service workers yourself can be tedious).

Note that if your original project is built with Nuxt (a Vue meta-framework), you have a better-suited solution readily available in the Nuxt PWA module. Nuxt and its ecosystem of plugins are a bit much to tackle in the scope of this post, but the same PWA general principles we’ll cover here apply there, too. The difference is how the config options are entered. So, while the concepts translate, if you’re using Nuxt, I’ll refer you to the Nuxt PWA module docs for the details.

The stack behind Journalistic is Django and Nuxt. The nuxt/pwa module takes care of everything PWA-related on the app side: manifest, service worker, etc. Easy peasy.

It's Nuxt.js with @nuxtjs/pwa, BTW.

Nuxt.js modules: Progressive Web App (PWA)

It should also be mentioned that the official VSCode Ionic Plugin is also capable of migrating your existing application. Capacitor v6 now also supports bun as a package manager.

> PWA optionally bundled with some native components for filing the gaps, as in Tauri.

Isn't that essentially Capacitor?

Capacitor

For the longest time, building desktop apps was a daunting task to web developers. That is, until technologies like Electron made creating these apps more approachable to a wider audience. Today, we’ve got a wide array of native applications built with solutions like Electron, Tauri, Capacitor, and many more. While these are great solutions, sometimes configuration can be tricky and the applications we create can become somewhat bloated in terms of memory usage.

The traditional alternative to Electon on mobile platforms is Capacitor (which uses the system webview):

Ionic Framework UI Components are used to build a website and then a mobile application is built using Ionic Capacitor. Ionic UI components are not required but are used for UX. The vue js code presented here will work fine in a separate application.

Welcome to Part Two of this four-part series on building a mobile game using open source technologies. We'll be using Phaser, along with Ionic, Capacitor, and Vue.
