What is the difference between your product and Capacitor as a WebView wrapper (which supports most PhoneGap plugins) plus Ionic as a UI framework?
I’m trying to be positive here, but your post sends off an incredible odd vibe. You drop names of successful web companies and make it sound like you just invented "mobile apps based on WebViews", which is a thing since, well forever.
Also, you claim Ionic comes with a lot of boilerplate, which is simply not true. Ionic 6 is web-components only with zero overhead. You can use them in vanilla JS no problem.
I downloaded an example from the gallery page and as far as I can tell it doesn't bring anything to the table over Capacitor or a simple WebView. Proper navigation UX and gestures are missing on iOS so it immediately feels weird, every page transition is slow and throws up a spinner (which makes it feel slower than a normal website), any disruption or intermittence in internet connection and the app will stop working, state is not preserved etc. Kinda everything you'd expect to see if you just pointed WKWebView at a url and shipped it. So I'm struggling to see who this is for exactly when we have capable websites, Capacitor and all manner of cross-platform solutions in between those and native apps.
The missing or badly implemented navigation UX and associated gestures are probably one of the most immediately evident tells that an app isn’t native, and probably one of the most frustrating. When I instinctively swipe from the left with my thumb to go back to the previous screen and nothing happens I immediately feel an impulse to go find a different app on the store.

I don’t see what this brings to the table.
