Capacitor in 2019: Native Progressive Web Apps for All

Capacitor, a project developed by the team behind the Ionic Framework, serves as a modern solution for building native progressive web apps across multiple platforms, including iOS, Android, Electron, and the web. It offers an abstraction over native SDKs, facilitating the creation of web apps with native capabilities and is seen as a blend of Cordova, Turbolinks, and React Native. In 2018, it was kept low-profile to avoid overwhelming users amid the stress of Ionic 4's release, although it garnered interest from the Ionic community and beyond. In 2019, Capacitor aims to become the official native runtime for all Ionic apps by focusing on stability, community engagement, and integration into the commercial DevOps product Ionic Pro. The project will also ensure compatibility with Cordova for enterprise solutions and plans to enhance the ease of integrating Native SDKs. The initiative solidifies Ionic's control over its stack, allowing for rapid issue resolution and fostering a stable development environment, while enticing developers with the promise of enhanced productivity by leveraging web technologies.
