That is not the metric. Is fast-UI, not how many devs are lazy or don't know how do native.
I invest more than 2 months researching the space this year (after several other times before), and seriously, only iOS is fast enough for html/webview.
Android is SUPER slow. I mean, i get your ionic sample app and run it on my test device. I touch once... and wait a century (sarcasm) for it to respond..
- yesimahuman 9y agoThat’s a gross exaggeration re: Android touch delay. You are correct though, Android is not as performant as iOS in nearly every category, including JS/web. And no, raw UI perf isn’t the metric for most of the market. Many teams are successful with the stack and deciding to use it, considering it to have perfectly acceptable performance for their needs considering the benefits of using the web stack (as we can attest to working with many hundreds of thousands of developers using Ionic), hence it not being a “failure.” With PWAs emerging, expect the growth of the web on mobile to heat up.
- mamcx 9y agoI don't mean touch delays, I mean the android UI get stuck for so long to be non-usable for any than simple stuff.
