In many cases this sounds better than shipping for only one platform - or not shipping at all.
- KronisLV 3y agoPlus, if your app idea is basically served by the features that a web app or a PWA offers, then you can write it more or less once (might need a few standalone browser checks in specific places) and deploy on multiple devices, for example, with https://www.pwabuilder.com/ https://www.pwabuilder.com/ I'm doing that right now. I'm having enough troubles with payment integration and proper auth and back end stuff, there's no way I could ship for web and two different mobile platforms at all without cutting too many corners.
