Desktop web application and mobile apps

Question

Hello all! I have a question.
I need to do a SaaS web application for desktop and also separate applications for iOS, Android and Windows mobile.
The problem is that I have no experience. I found how to do an app for desktop using .net Core for backend and Angular for frontend but I don't completely understand how to do the mobile apps. Should be a separate project or the code for the desktop can be reused.

I found out on internet about NativeScript but I don't completely understand what it is.. if it should be used as frontend or backend.

I was wandering how experienced developers work and what technologies they use.
I am stuck and I don't have much time for learning and any suggestion is welcome.

Thank you!

Answer 1

Before giving you the answer, I am very curious, what makes you "need to do an application" before you know how to do it?

Is it appropriate to commit something that you are not capable of.

Answer 2

Anyway, you can use a separate projects for NativeScript mobile app project, and you can share the code base in one project.

The commands are:

npm install --global @nativescript/schematics

and then

ng new --collection=@nativescript/schematics --name=my-app --shared

Thank you very much. I have to do this for the university, with a small app and the teacher didn't explain anything.
