react-native VS svelte-capacitor

This is a modified version of the file from the react native cli template

Recently, there has been a notable shift in mobile application development practices. Rather than creating separate applications for each native platform, many developers are opting for hybrid mobile frameworks like React Native.

React Native [ https://reactnative.dev/ ]

Versatility: JavaScript is not limited to web browsers. It's used in a variety of environments, including mobile app development (using frameworks like React Native), game development (using libraries like Phaser), and even serverless computing (using platforms like AWS Lambda).

In the competitive landscape of mobile app development, user experience (UX) has emerged as a critical differentiator. React Native, with its robust framework and versatile capabilities, offers developers a powerful toolkit to create seamless and engaging user experiences. This blog post delves into the design principles and best practices in React Native app development, uncovering how developers can elevate user experience to new heights and drive success in the digital realm.

You can find the React Native documentation here and Flutter Documentation here.

Additionally, React Native, an extension of React.js, enables developers to create hybrid mobile applications with ease.

You don’t know what to do with your time while applying the 5th rule? Start small, tiny steps. If you can’t read much, start small, 15 minutes a day reading a technical article or even a book like Effective Java, by Joshua Bloch. You don’t like to read? Create small projects by using a framework you want to learn. Check for example: React framework.

React Native: A framework for building native apps using JavaScript, sharing logic code while retaining native performance.

Thanks for the suggestion! From the comments so far a Vite + Svelte SPA does seem like the way to go. Whilst I hadn't seen the repo you shared yet, but I was looking at this one: https://github.com/drannex42/svelte-capacitor. Would be keen to hear your thoughts on if one is better than the other.

I agree on going the PWA way (except for iOS quite easy, and iOS is doable), other than that there's still hybrid approaches. I stumbled upon this repo some time ago, maybe that's something to start with (using Capacitor, there's also NeutralinoJS, Tauri, and others)

I am planning on making a Svelte + Routify + Vite Mobile & Web App. And when choosing from options for mobile dev, I concluded from Reddit threads previous to this one, that Capacitor might be the best choice vs it's sole contender, the unmantained Svelte Native. I was btw planning on using [this template](https://github.com/drannex42/svelte-capacitor/tree/master/src) for that.

I develop a realrovely popular open source Svelte[1] related template (w/ live reload!) to develop cross platform apps.

Capacitor really is a beauty to work with. While I disagree on some design decisions (putting build platforms at the root of the directory for one) the overall ecosystem is quite healthy and strong, and while backwards compat with Cordova is hit or miss, its quite good for an old school tool thats a decade old.

Pretty much a combination of svelte-ionic-app and svelte-capacitor but without the extra code related to the examples in svelte-ionic-app

You can check it out here. I am always open to questions and PR's!

I built a fairly popular template for this: https://github.com/drannex42/svelte-capacitor
