Ionic is all about building “web-first” apps, so we’re definitely fans of building PWAs.
Personally, whether you should publish your PWA in the app stores really depends on your situation. The web offers the broadest reach, but many people are still conditioned to look in the app stores first, so that’s something to consider.
If the app requires native features that aren’t available on the web, then definitely publish in the stores.
Overall though, when building with Ionic’s tech, you’ll always have the option to deploy to the stores should you decide to in the future!
