The Mobile Web Second Edition" First-Class Citizen on Your Device Now"
summary
Claims that four practical paths exist—Ionic, NativeScript, React Native, PWA—and compares architectures: webview container, shipped JavaScript VM, native bridge, and service-worker-enabled web app. Cites surprising scale: >2 billion smartphone users and mobile traffic overtaking desktop (Oct 2016). Notes concrete tradeoffs: NativeScript/React Native yield near-native UI and perf, hybrid remains slower; PWAs use service worker for offline, push and near-instant install. Mentions Ionic’s WKWebView experiments and low App Store discovery metrics.
