From app newbie to App Store in a week!

I’d never made a mobile app before. I’ve been waiting for the promise of cross-platform apps to come true for years. Then I came across Capacitor in https://stateofjs.com/ I set out to see if Capacitor could deliver, and it did!

It only took me about a week to go from total newbie to App Store release. Granted, I already knew Vue. And already having a Vue 2.x SPA website, I had Vue/JS code I could reuse. But I also upgraded to Vue 3 and Typescript, which was a fairly steep learning curve. (I’m still wrapping my head around the Composition API.)

Capacitor and Ionic made everything EASY. Incredibly easy. And the app is super fast.

The app is still pretty basic, but it’s a good foundation. Thank you Capacitor and Ionic!
