Small business friendly mobile framework?


On the web side, I have found Django/Rails/Laravel allow one to get a functional (monolithic) web app up with minimal effort. Avoiding js/spa complexities is part of that (htmx, turbolinks, unpoly).

But what is the equivalent in the mobile app world. How can I write as little js as possible and re-use my mobile friendly monolith in the app store ecosystem?

PhoneGap/Cordova. If your app can run in a mobile browser, it can run there too. But you will have to make sure that most of the files are local as I believe apple don’t see kindly to websites with a webview front.
