# Hybrid apps — web UI inside a native store shell

One HTML/CSS/JS codebase packaged for the App Store and Google Play. Updates can ship faster than native; the UI is still a WebView, not Flutter widgets or React Native views.

Hybrid here means web technologies running inside a native container (Capacitor-style): you get store listings, push, and a few device APIs, while the interface is still the web you already know. That is a different trade-off from Flutter or React Native, which compile to native-feeling UI instead of a WebView. It is also different from a PWA, which never needs the stores. We use hybrid for content-heavy products, internal tools, and MVPs where a shared web UI and quick OTA-style updates beat pixel-perfect platform chrome. Custom mobile app development is the stack-agnostic commercial page; this one is only the WebView-in-a-shell path.

## What you get

* Shared web UI and business logic across iOS and Android
* A native shell for store distribution, icons, and splash screens
* Bridges for camera, files, push, and device APIs when a WebView is not enough
* Faster release cycles than maintaining two native codebases
* Honest advice when a screen should move to native or to Flutter/React Native
* Secure packaging and store-ready builds

## How we work

Step 1

Fit assessment

We check performance, offline, and UX needs so a WebView shell will not fail you in month three.

Step 2

Shell & core

Native container, shared web core, and CI that produces both store binaries.

Step 3

Ship & iterate

Device QA plus a plan for store releases or faster web-layer updates.

## When this fits

Choose hybrid when you want both stores without two native teams, and you can live with web rendering. If you need 60fps lists, complex gestures, or OS-native chrome, use native or Flutter/React Native instead. If you do not need the stores at all, a PWA is simpler.
