I'd look up some Capacitor apps and see if the UI performance with webview is good enough for you. From my experience it's not great on Android, but good on iOS. Meanwhile Flutter is the other way around, and given that iOS is a more important target...this might not be a terrible route to go.

I can't imagine it'll be quicker than Flutter development if you 1) don't have strict design requirements, 2) you're pretty much only targeting mobile, 3) you want something that looks good out of the box.

If you already have a webapp and mobile performance is acceptable, I'd consider just doing Capacitor and migrating to Tauri when the mobile ecosystem is in a good place.

Edit: Oh the ionic CEO already recommended it lol

Huh, that always used to be case (back when the iPhone 4 was the latest model). I'm amazed Android devices haven't solved this yet given that even slow android devices must have faster CPUs than an iPhone 4. Perhaps it's a software issue rather than a hardware one...

Apparently it's an issue with Android's webview interaction with accessibility settings.

Facebook ships their own webview implementation to solve a couple other webview issues, but that's not really a viable solution for everyone else
