I worked on an app as a backend developer with an intermediate understanding of JavaScript/html. I was able to use Cordova to build out a functional prototype. After that we were able to engage with a contracting firm and point to the prototype as the requirements. This let them quote a firm fixed price, which we of course enjoyed. Sorry, not sure how the contractor was found.

Depending on the functionality needed for your app idea (and your skills), this might be a good path.

This was in the early 2010s.

Thanks for pointing out Cordova. Just took a quick look at it, this can be a very good starting point, appreciate.

There is a competitive framework, named capacitor, which is developed by the ionic team. Together with ionic, capacitor is very easy to get things done fast...
