Hi Erwan, why do you think it would be better as a native app? I personally find the hybrid approach interesting since there's already a functioning web app.

Is it for specific reasons?

Hi rhymes

Yes hybrid is my daily tech. But there is hybrid and hybrid.

Anyway, native (more visible and sensitive on iOS) offers:

  • better user experience,
  • security (hacking a website is far easier than a native)

I just point out that I'm disappointed with tech decisions. But this not my app so be it 😉

How is the mobile pwa less or more secure than the website itself? They are the same codebase.

What other tech decisions you disagree with? Maybe there's the start of a nice conversation there.
