    Build cross-platform Native Progressive Web Apps for iOS, Android, and the Web ⚡️

    • Depending on the nature of your app, if it's graphic intense, you might have to go native. I haven't done it at scale but used to build small ionic apps with cordova, it worked pretty well besides the fact that there's a lot of unmaintained Cordova plugins, otherwise it could get your idea from 0 to 1 real quick. As others mentioned, ionic team built their own Cordova now and it's called capacitor and they maintain the plugins for that. It seems like it's framework agnostic so you should be able to use any frontend tech you prefer. That said I haven't personally used it myself, just been hearing people saying how good the exp is. Been meaning to try it out myself haha
