What's the point? Why not just use React?
Like many others - I dropped Cordova and Ionic in favor of React-Native. So, what is Ionic trying to do here? Are they throwing in the towel and adopting React? Will they end up making a kit that renders native components using JSX just like React-Native?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
WebComponents in general are a solution in search of a problem. Despite being 6 years in development: - they basically delivered none of the original promises - they are extremely cumbersome to use without a library/framework on top (Polymer is the jQuery of WebComponents) - they are plagued by multiple problems and shifts in the ecosystem (browsers don't want to support `is=`, HTML imports are being dropped in favou…
> WebComponents in general are a solution in search of a problem Maybe they don't solve your problem, but they certainly seem to solve Ionic's or Netflix's problems (or mine for that matter).
"Vue.js seems to solve Gitlab's problems (or mine for that matter)"
etc.
Throwing big names around amounts to pretty much nothing.

We're all in on web tech. We think it's the smarter choice long term.

We're not throwing in the towel at all, rather we're embracing web standards 100% and think Ionic is and will continue to be the best way to build an app that works in the app stores, on the web as a PWA, and increasingly on desktop. Cross-platform is our main focus.
Hey all, founder of Ionic (team behind Stencil) here. Didn't expect to see this up on HN so soon (released this morning), thanks for understanding there's still rough edges with docs, etc We built Stencil for a selfish reason: we needed more mobile web performance for Ionic apps being deployed as PWAs (in addition to App Store apps) and we were struggling getting that with traditional framework component/bundle appro…
Hi, wondering what's the main difference between Stencil and [Svelte]( https://svelte.technology/ )?

If we use third party library code in multiple stencils. Will they be included separately in each one of them. Let's say d3 for graphics?
Yes right this second, but next on our list is providing a seamless solution to dependency dedupe. Not yet ready but it's promising.
