Shameless repost. What's your experience with web wrappers?

Anyone here develop in Ionic? I'm curious as to the DX vs React Native. What's the learning curve like? I'm primarily a React dev, so RN seemed like a natural fit. But being as Ionic is web-first and able to easily convert to a PWA is that a greater strength for Ionic as it's agnostic to the framework / library used to build it?

What would be the advantage of building in Ionic, utilizing say, React.js and Tailwind as my toolkit? Are there disadvantages with that approach vs using RN and Nativewind?

I understand that Native functionality vs. Web functionality is different and slanted towards Native -- but it would seem that Ionic makes a strong play for ease of use for someone that already knows how to dev a web app.

TL;DR - anyone ship an Ionic app, and if so is it (> =) || (< =) your expectations?

Welcome friends!

I'm looking forward to some good discussion around best practices, different techniques and technologies, and whatever other topics fall into the bucket of mobile dev.

I'm primarily a React Native developer (when I'm working in mobile dev) and do all sorts of other work in WP, GD, React.js, Next, Gatsby and more. As a freelancer it all falls to what the best fit is for the customer. But enough about me, what's your story? Favorite stack? What do you like about mobile development? What are some things you despise about it?
