I were looking at Vue NativeScript. Anybody on why should I not?
I use React + React Native for https://www.jqbx.fm . As a 1 man project it seemed like the only sensible way to build mobile (android/iOS) and browser versions. I can share almost all of the code (where applicable) so one can move a lot faster and have a lot less mental overhead. That being said React Native has stability and performance issues that are tricky and can hold up your app for a non-trivial amount of time…
Looks nice! What are you using for the backend?
Depending on your needs, using something like Turbolinks [1] may be a great fit. There are iOS and Android libraries that can make your web app talk to your native app so it can do things like trigger screen transitions, populate native menu or tab controls, etc. We're using a similar idea at my company and so far it's been very successful for us.

The web, iOS, and Android devices utilize all of the same server generated HTML + JS google maps et al. 0 to completed for both Android and iOS in maybe 30 hours because of the native API stuff I had to learn. If you don't need those native API's or know Swift/Java better, that time could be trimmed down considerably.

Wow that app is exactly what me & my friends have been looking for. They even started hacking together an Android version of this. Looks really well done! One question: Do you plan on writing a native desktop solution? I'm not a fan of having to keep my browser open just to run a single app.
Just checked it out. This is really well executed! Definitely doesn't look like a one man operation. Congrats!

Hehe.. turntable.fm v2.0 :-) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turntable.fm Just checked it out. This is really well executed! Definitely doesn't look like a one man operation. Congrats!

Pure html+css with as little js as possible... eg: websites/single page webapps over native ios/android apps

Thanks! And yeah heavily inspired by tt.fm (RIP). Hopefully the community keeps growing and can bring some of that 2011 internet magic back.
(BTW it just pinned a Google chrome helper on my machine so I had to kill it. Not sure if you know anything about perf. with your app yet. Just FYI)
I had to use a lot of platform-specific imports (eg: `index.ios.tsx`/`index.web.tsx`) to replace anything mobile-specific, and there are some cases where you need platform-specific UI components as well to make everything look nice on larger screens.
My only complaint is it gets a bit messy having all these different entry points and platform-specific modules and whatnot. Overall, it's probably the best you can hope for to write an app for mobile + web with ~80-90% _actual_ code sharing.
