What would be the fastest way to get that done today? I know React Native is heavily used, but it seems like too heavy and complex for such a simple set of requirements.
What can I use to get a simple application out in a few days?
Personally for any app I want to get out quickly on both platforms I have been using Flutter and find it is a good compromise, better than React Native (IMO) and quick to iterate and simple to still keep a native feel for each platform (and still have performance). Still the best way is to create a native app for each platform, but for what you are doing that seems like overkill at this point.
Really it all depends on how your content is updated and where it is at today that would drive how I'd likely approach it.
I'd like to make a mobile app so users can consume the content while offline so the webview is something that won't work for me in this particular case.
A friend told me about Flutter and it seems like something I need to look at. Also, people mentioned Microsoft Xamarin.
Really, what I need is what the web used to be. Text and a list of articles, but offline.
Thanks for the suggestion!
I was able to hoist something in Flutter quickly and painlessly. I was pretty impressed. I hope I never muck with Cordova again after working with it. :)
Worth an hour and a hello-world tutorial to see if you're keen on it. I liked it.
As I'm writing this I'm thinking I could do a PWA and wrap it into some native framework. Would that work?
