Ask HN: Making a Mobile App from a Web App with PhoneGap or Similar

1 pointsby singoldover 9 years ago
I&#x27;m planning on making a web app and I think that it is important to have the option of a mobile app for the clients.<p>I&#x27;m going to make a bootstrap based web app, so it&#x27;s going to be responsive and mobile first, but most people (not me, and probably not the average HN reader) feel better with mobile apps than mobile sites on mobile browsers.<p>So I was thinking of packaging my site as a phonegap&#x2F;apache cordova mobile app, it would be the same site but downloadable from the app&#x2F;play store.<p>This app would be kind of an MVP, and in the future if the idea works, we would probably make native apps, but it isn&#x27;t the priority right now.<p>Anyone has any experience in this regard? Am I thinking something in the wrong way?<p>Thanks in advance!
