      Can you make a video on this detailed ...
      Like start with a web application using APIs and if there is a requirement for a mobile app, then we can easily go since we have developed APIs
      For this we need to decide on which point we need to go for app development and what type of architecture we need to use, that makes it easy to move to mobile app development
      I want to understand that..

      You ducking say that but it’s because your ok downloading a 50mb once and waiting like 10 minutes for it to install but if the website take more then 3 seconds to load with the same functionality as that app you like nah it’s too long. Websites are constrained by this, if you would wait the same amount of time and then install a website as a pwa then you’d get the same functionality but unfortunately websites are thought of as different from an app even though they are the same

Who needs these pointers and memory management, ew, too hard. Better wrap every element and even every operator into a chain of classes! Now that’s fast - to develop, but not to run.

    You SHOULD build a mobile app (and that is the only correct video to make). A dev's job is to meet the needs of phone users and a half-assed website that is referred to as a "web app" to mislead people into using it, is not what we need. We need developers to actually do their job.

    Here are some real downsides:
    1. Users need to download the app. This adds friction to the growing process.
    2. Apps take up space on the phone.
    3. Getting an app approved is a hassle.
    4. A website is available for more devices than an app.
