Instead of having to use flutter, I'd rather see iOS embrace TWAs like Android so I don't have to use Ionic/Capacitor at all.

While I'm wishlisting, I'd like more native controls exposed via JS for PWA/TWAs, like widgets, messaging, and password manager APIs.

Don't talk to me about writing native apps, I'm a solo dev and couldn't care less about it. I don't have the cycles or the users "demanding it". PWAs are fine if you know what you're doing.




Here is the thing, for most forms over data applications mobile Web works just fine, PWA or not.

When I returned to Web/Cloud development a couple of years ago, all the applications use Web frontends, and the tablet / smartphone users manage just fine, no need to package Web sites as "native" applications.

Naturally there are a couple of exceptions, like games.


Seconded. I can't imagine how solo native devs manage to make a living given the time involved.
