ManifoldJS vs NativeScript

As a startup, we need the maximum flexibility and the ability to reach our customers in a more suitable way. So a hybrid application approach is the best because it allows you to develop a cross-platform application in a unique codebase. The choice behind Ionic is Angular, I think that angular is the best framework to develop a complex application that needs a lot of service interaction, its modularity forces you (the developer) to write the code in the correct way, so it can be maintainable and reusable.

Hello,

We're just brainstorming for the moment and we have a few questions.

We have an idea for an app that we want to develop, here are the prerequisites:

1. cross-platform (iOS, Android, and website);

2. as easy to maintain as possible / well documented / widely used;

3. Visual Studio Code and Copilot compatible;

4. Text to speech;

5. Speech recognition;

6. Running in background (screen off with TTS and speech recognition);

7. could be using TypeScript;

8. Monetized through ad and in-App payment for premium version;

9. Display on lock screen (Android only I guess)

So what would you recommend?

I've been trying to review the options available, and I've considered:

• NativeScript

• React Native

• Flutter

• Any other?

Thanks in advance for your help, and I'm open to any comments.

As the previous commentor said, Next.js or React Native + Expo may be a better option. There's also the options of AssemblyScript + React/Next.js, or NativeScript and Ionic, both of which give you mature ecosystems of tools and close-to-native experiences. Flutter, you're likely to have the same experiences you had with Swift and Kotlin. Flutter requires higher separation of concerns between platforms, doesn't have nearly the third-party support of any of the other options, and is fairly large in binary size. Still, it's a growing system and in the future it may actually outcompete the other options when it has a large enough ecosystem.
