How is this “from the ground up”? It basically uses the same web technologies and back end from the existing web solutions.

Also, I missed the challenges of handling offline usage which was stated as a requirement, but the back end appears to be GraphQL queries to a server?

I guess it's "from the ground up" as in "greenfield", where there's no preexisting code to support or rewrite. I.e. "ground" means "fresh project" (and not e.g. entering bits by hand).
Yeah, I saw the headline and was hoping it was something crazy like Rust compiled for mobile and wasm
