There’s React Native. Ionic is stuck in the same limbo that PWA are in and Tauri is obscure. Qt is hardly used in mobile apps and Microsoft’s successors for Xamarin deprecate themselves every few years. What else is there, NativeScript? Kivy? Delphi?
- mightyham 2y agoDart is really not much different from a PWA/Ionic though: the language requires bindings to use native APIs; it's runtime is not native to any platform (where as most platforms do have native web runtimes); and it's rendering system doesn't support native widgets (in fact, it currently uses Skia which is the same rendering library as Chrome).
- Apocryphon 2y agoAnd yet, it has much higher adoption. I think it might be because PWA have long been second-class citizens on mobile, even with some recent OS updates.
