the time it takes to create workarounds for UIWebView/WKWebView is only slightly less than the time to get familiar with Swift/UIKit This times a thousand.

the time it takes to create workarounds for UIWebView/WKWebView is only slightly less than the time to get familiar with Swift/UIKit This times a thousand. I have wasted untold hours on clever paperclip-and-gum techniques to get WKWebView to be something it isn't: predictable and usable. I still develop hybrid apps for clients (glorified web pages, really) but for personal projects I will never, ever go back. Kicking myself for not learning Swift earlier.

When my job looked at the JS app idea (3 or so years ago) that was one of my big takeaways. If we made a web app, we would spend just as much of not more time polishing it until it felt native than we would have making it native on the platform in the first place. It wasn't a highly complicated app.
