As the title implies, I want to make a mobile app for the site. I was looking into React Native at first, but then learned about webviews from this great blog post by Puzzmo[0]. Webviews seems appealing because I would be able to reuse many existing components (though I am aware of next.js related challenges from having to export a static build) and be able to stay comfortable and productive™ in a webdev context. I don't mind losing that "native" mobile UX goodness either since the tradeoff of better DX seems worth it given that I'm working on this alone. There also seems to be some neat tooling for webviews to streamline the development process e.g. Capacitor by Ionic[1].
Anyone have any opinions/insights/horror stories on all this?
