Capacitor Alternatives

Reviews and mentions

• If Kizuna is released as an iOS app, can it/will it use HoloHost? Generally: can APPs use HoloHost?

  However, we can emulate the current phone app experience by treating whichever frontend like a browser. That’s basically what many apps are today: specialized browsers that make particular API calls [instead of general-purpose browsers]. The backend still essentially works in the same manner here; it’s just being run by another host, who makes and validates entries on behalf of the agent. Kizuna is using this strategy initially. They’re shipping their mobile frontend with Capacitor.js, which I plan to use too!

  In other news, with the shit show that PWA seems to be on ios (I have an iphone, so it's important for me that it works on ios) I ordered a mac mini m1 so I could try getting it working in an app, probably with the use of Capacitor: Cross-platform native runtime for web apps (capacitorjs.com) it will just take a bit of time.

  Whats the advantage of this over Capacitor (https://capacitorjs.com) from the Ionic team?

  Capacitor support Notifications and would be more extendable going forward I think. Although maybe more work upfront?

• I've made a React app. Should you stick around?

  I Used Figma for designing and prototyping, React with Typescript for the frontend implementation, Firebase as the backend and Capacitor.js for Android and iOS support.

  You can make a web site using website tools, and then use a tool like capacitor to make it mobile, even using shit like location and camera.

• Microsoft Outlook (!) Is Moving To React Native

  Thanks for this, was news to me however just because they are aligning to web tech across does not mean they will move to react native( they don’t mention it at least). They could choose with another other native abstractions such as https://capacitorjs.com. Will be interesting to see what they go with

  As an alternative to React Native, Capacitor JS will let you bring in whatever framework from the web you want. Svelte is one gaining popularity and is much closer to vanilla JS than you’d find with React’s JSX.

• Question about svelte native

  Instead of Svelte Native, I would recommend creating your app in Svelte/SvelteKit, then building it for native targets using Capacitor.js. This is for a few reasons:

• I’m trying to develop an app and I was wondering where I should start. I have basic programming knowledge already and just need a couple pointers.

  FWIW, I wouldn't recommend using Cordova today. You might look into Capacitor if you want to use Javascript.

• State of the Sveltejs Ecosystem?

  I like Flutter too, but if they’re already using Svelte for web, wouldn’t it make sense to save the effort of switching frameworks and instead build a mobile version with Svelte and Capacitor?

  This is a post to support the video I did on the same topic. The video was split into two parts, one covering setting up Ionic Framework in ReactJS to work with the Capacitor Camera Plugin, and the other part was to upload the image captured from the camera to Supabase Storage.
