The Mobile Web Second Edition: First-Class Citizen on Your Device Now
summary
Claims that using web tech for mobile is both a bad idea and a cool idea depending on tooling and tradeoffs, and demonstrates Ionic, NativeScript, React Native and Progressive Web Apps with concrete code and camera examples plus Cordova and serviceworker usage. Shows numbers: mobile traffic overtakes desktop (Oct 2016) and >2 billion smartphone users. Finds JS-to-native approaches reach near-native performance, hybrids (webview/Cordova) remain slower unless using WKWebView optimizations, and PWA serviceworker support on iOS is a major blocker. Concrete demos and measured tradeoffs.
