Capacitor
Capacitor is a runtime for packaging web applications as native iOS and Android apps.
What it is
Capacitor is an open-source runtime that lets web applications run as native iOS and Android apps with access to device APIs.
Why it matters
This matters because teams can ship web-first products to mobile app stores without rebuilding the full application stack from scratch.
Where we use it
At AppyGrove, we use Capacitor when a product needs practical mobile delivery while keeping most of the web codebase shared.
