What is your favourite framework for building hybrid app

Question

Hi all, I am using Ionic for building hybrid app and now I just want to look for another one to play. Any great suggestion on that? Currently I am looking at flutter which is created by Google but it's using Dart so I am not sure is it good to try.

Answer 1

Gary, Nativescript is relatively new, it works well with Angular and Typescript out of the box (considering that Typescript is the future of js), also has well documented api, furtheremore Sidekick simplifies development workflow, it's free and has limited free cloud builds. You can use Vue, if you want.
What about Dart, it is pretty simple to learn, kind of alternative of Typescript, it has SDK, even own Virtual Machine, has support in Atom, VSCode, IntellJ e.t.c.

Answer 2

React native is pretty nice, especially since it has expo for debugging

Answer 3

Look at Nativescript, it has cool addon called Sidekick which allows you to make cloud builds even on windows, also it has Angular + Typescript templates for quickstart.
The next thing is Fuse, but you should have mac/xcode/iphone to build ipa files. Pretty the same framework but not totally free.
The most popular one is Reactnative.
All this frameworks are pretty the same.
Flutter has new cool feature "hot reloading" that allows you to build your app "on the fly" that increases production workflow speed. And it compiles your app to native ARM binary. But there are no big/serious apps yet built with flutter.

bob Nativescript sounds great but i would like to try something new.
For reactnative, that should be a good one for hybrid app but what's specials when compare to ionic?
And also did you tried Flutter as it is using Dart rather than js, I really want to is it good to try😎

Answer 5

thx bob what I mean new is that using other language to develop. As you said there are nativescript-vue here and that should be my target.
Thank you for the nice option.
