Kudos! This is a great project. I have one bone to pick, though. Had a show stopper issue a few months back with capacitor and the entire Ionic team was unresponsive, even on github. The issue was sending cookies to the server. Cookie would get set on the response but subsequent requests would not include the cookie. This was extremely aggravating and I had to halt my development. Relevant Github issue: https://github.com/ionic-team/capacitor/issues/1373. Would be great to know if a solution was ever found.

I used Ionic for 2 projects a few years back. Support on GitHub was, frankly, crap. I can sympathise to some degree, because they were still trying to figure out a commercialisation model, but they were far more interested in shipping new stuff and breaking things than actually stabilising what they already had. Major bugs affecting lots of people were ignored forever or closed without comment. It made for a horrible dev experience, and I honestly can't see myself touching it again with an extra-long barge pole.

Sorry about that, we definitely had some growing pains given we were a team of < 5 on the OSS side with a user base in the millions. Tried to automate as much as possible on the github side and over-applied our issue robot. I think our process has improved quite a bit recently and hope you give us another shot!

Sounds exactly like WordPress and Gutenberg.

My main problem with Ionic (having used it for several apps) is that it is very difficult to find answers to question on the web. Reference sites are full of "this is how I fixed it" that work on v1 or v2 or v3 and most of all don't work for v4.

Unfortunately the speed in which they are changing things make community references obsolete quickly.

We hear you. This is why we moved to embracing core framework tooling like in Ionic 4 with Angular, where you don't need to go through our custom Angular build tooling which was a big source of issues and made it hard to get help.

I found Laravel to be similar. Lots of answers but none for the current version.

Interesting, although true none for the current version, in my case a working solution has nearly always been in the top few results, even if it's originally from an older version

[wolco]

Older solutions still work on laravel for the most part. There are newer cleaner ways to do things but very few breaking changes.

What was the cookie size? Cookies that are too large show up on responses but are silently dropped from future requests.
