One codebase.
Android & iOS.
Ionic and Capacitor can reduce time and cost in app development when the use case fits. I help teams make an honest technical decision between web-based cross-platform apps, native development, and Kotlin Multiplatform.
Web technology
as an app.
Ionic uses web technologies like Angular, TypeScript, HTML, and CSS to build apps for Android, iOS, and web from one shared codebase. Capacitor or Cordova connect app logic to native APIs through plugins.
This can be a very good fit for business apps, internal tools, and data-driven applications. For performance-critical apps, strongly native UX, or complex sensor and camera use cases, native development with Kotlin or Swift is often the better foundation.
When Ionic
makes sense.
What I use.
Hybrid with
experience.
I have worked with cross-platform frameworks since the early Cordova days, and I know their limits from practice. Plugins, build issues, store releases, and platform-specific details are familiar terrain.
I also bring long-standing native iOS and Android experience. That means I can assess when Ionic is the right choice and when native development with Kotlin, Java, or Swift is cheaper in the long run.
Besides Ionic projects, I also work with native Android with Kotlin and Kotlin Multiplatform as a modern cross-platform alternative.
Not sure whether Ionic, native Android, or Kotlin Multiplatform is the better fit? I can help with the technical decision.
