Creating a Comprehensive Social Media App Using Ionic & PhoneGap
summary
Case study of a mobile wellness social network built with Ionic Framework and PhoneGap/Cordova that ships to iOS Android and as mobile web from one codebase in 10–12 weeks. Engineering choices: backend moved to a REST API, front end uses Angular with targeted native fallbacks, heavy DOM and CSS work, and a custom batched native infinite scroll to fix older Android and memory issues. Outcome: multi‑platform app launched and optimized to run acceptably on older phones.
