I love tamagui and their starter kit... But on other hand I feel anything I'd build with it could be achieved as web app + pwa. For anything more complex id go with native app.

Anyone else feel the same ?

So building a good API layer + web app gives you possibility to build a good native app on top of same API later when your idea is validated

PWA definitely have their place, but the UX is unquestionably far worse.

I’d say though that I’d actually choose Tamagui and native if I was going for speed to ship. Even if building a PWA, Tamagui is a great way with components designed for mobile.

speed to ship = native is bit funny considering you have no control on the review process have the app store markets. Painfully slow process releasing anything natively
If building a product takes a few months, and years of ongoing work, then the 2 weeks delay in submitting should round to 0 in terms of effect on your decision to go native or not unless there's some incredibly hard deadline.
