Even if you learn SwiftUI, and get a Kotlin developer for Android, you'll still need a web developer for those who just want a web app. Notion, Spotify, Hulu, etc, all have web apps. Even Gmail still has a web app, albeit an extremely poor one, which goes to show how much work multi-platform support is. The benefit of frameworks like Ionic is to support multiple platforms without having to maintain multiple codebases. So as the gap shrinks between native and web, it starts making more sense to just write a single web app
- ColonelPhantom 4y agoGmail's web app is "extremely poor"? I almost never experience any issues with it, and it's quite streamlined in my experience. It's not worse than the Android app (it's actually nicer, IMO, but that's probably in large part because it's on a big screen). It could be more responsive, but that's about it.
- woojoo666 4y agoYou're right, I was thinking of the web app, but then again most mobile web apps are lacking
- calsy 4y agomost are lacking what exactly?
- woojoo666 4y agoUsability. One of the worst examples is Google docs, which is almost impossible to use on mobile
- ColonelPhantom 4y agoAh, you mean the mobile web version. I agree, that is an absolute dumpster fire that looks like it hasn't been updated since 2009. Not sure why though, probably just lack of interest from Google.
