I've really enjoyed using Hyperview (https://hyperview.org/) recently, which uses React Native as a base. I used to think PWA/Ionic/Capacitor apps were better, but have really fallen in love with the simplicity of Hyperview and tools like HTMX.

I just found out hyperview yesterday and am learning it, seems interesting to me.
I don't see how anything can be easier than a PWA if you already have a Web app that works ok on mobile. You can do it in a day and only needs updating once every year or two. I know because I had to fill out a few questionaires last Saturday to upgrade for Android 14 support but that was about it. (And those some questions apply to all mobile apps on Play store)
PWA's issues are with iOS and MacOS? last time I read, Apple are not really into supporting PWA, if at all.
There's experimental support with pwabuilder.com but yeah, Apple still isn't really supporting it IIUC, and you still need a MacBook to publish which it ridiculous.
