      Can you make a video on this detailed ...
      Like start with a web application using APIs and if there is a requirement for a mobile app, then we can easily go since we have developed APIs
      For this we need to decide on which point we need to go for app development and what type of architecture we need to use, that makes it easy to move to mobile app development
      I want to understand that..

      You ducking say that but it’s because your ok downloading a 50mb once and waiting like 10 minutes for it to install but if the website take more then 3 seconds to load with the same functionality as that app you like nah it’s too long. Websites are constrained by this, if you would wait the same amount of time and then install a website as a pwa then you’d get the same functionality but unfortunately websites are thought of as different from an app even though they are the same

    Hey my dear app developers, come together and show this man why we and our work exists and why is it important and relevant even after so much advancement in web technologies
    And one more thing, a web app/website can never replace a proper native mobile/desktop application.

      I would recommend you to look into Flutter/Dart if you are not sure what to focus on. Flutter is getting better every year and the application runs on iOS, Android and the web. I stumbled across the same question and started learning Swift for iOS which I quit fast because I knew I wanted to include Android as well. That was before Apple introduced Swift UI which is great. All I am saying is: Web and mobile development are both options for building an application. Flutter combines the two worlds and what might have seemed as some more Framework Google will kill soon, it has become super popular. Major companies like Toyota are now using Flutter for embedded systems (That’s what I have read) because it can do so much. Start with Flutter if you want to make an application that runs everywhere.

    You make a valid point that technically, anything achievable in an app can also be built on a website. However, it's important to consider factors like customer acquisition and monetization. App stores offer a massive global marketplace and streamlined monetization options, making it easier for developers to reach and profit from users. While it's possible to achieve similar results on the web, the convenience factor of app stores should not be underestimated when deciding between the two ways of publishing.

    PWAs consistently ranks lower when packed and distributed in the mobile stores, users feel the clunky approach. The company I work for went from something like 3 stars in Play Store to 4.8 by just migrating their main screens to Flutter. It's like night and day. And the complaining we receive nowadays are mostly about the parts of the app that are still rendering the pwa through a WebView.
    The change was so big they're planning to kill all PWAs code and their Swift codebase and unify everything into Flutter.

    Oh right, cuz we all want our apps to load forever under the weight of numerous poorly optimized JavaScript frameworks. Boo-hoo, poor software engineers don’t wanna learn to build good software, so everyone should suffer. This is what software development has become. First we saw language abstractization. Who needs these pointers and memory management, ew, too hard. Better wrap every element and even every operator into a chain of classes! Now that’s fast - to develop, but not to run. And voilà, now everyone builds slow sh*tware prone to memory leaks. Now we see this f*cking tendency to build everything on the web. And who knows what next.

    You are absolutely wrong. I've 10 years mobile app development experience, android java, iOS Swift, and Flutter.
    Some of benefits of using mobile technologies instead of web technologies like javascript:
    1. performance: javascript wrapped apps or web apps performe poorly on mobile phones
    2. libraries: flutter, react native, java or swift have tons of libraries optimized for mobile apps. On the other hand, if you use javascript, you need to code everything from scratch.
    note: If you need a website and same website as an app, it's okay to use React to develop.
