We love developing mobile apps with React Native here at Potado. It's out default development tool we recommend to clients in most cases. Sure Flutter is also an attractive cross-platform development framework, but there are some cons to it, making React Native a more attractive option. So React Native is owned by Facebook and Flutter is owned by Google. Google might be more popular, but in terms of development tools, Google has been known to just shut down projects, so that's a high risk.
React Native also uses Javascript as the main language while Flutter uses Dart. Sure Dart is a new language developed by Google and it is really good, but it's extremely niche and only used for Flutter development, while the entire web is built with Javascript. This means more developers know javascript and the community is much larger. A strong community means a strong support system. Also many companies don't just develop a mobile app, but also a web application. By using React Native for mobile and React for web, you can have the entire project built in one language. This is very helpful, especially if you plan to scale and hire developers.
Flutter is a Google created solution to cross-platform applications. We develop Flutter applications for our clients that want to have their app on all platforms with one code base. For new projects we typically recommend our clients use React Native due to the larger community, but Flutter is a really powerful tool. Flutter decided to use the Dart language instead of Javascript in order to improve upon the flaw javascript has. So although the tooling is powerful, Javascript is more popular in the developer community so it's much easier to find developers versed in this language.
The main difference between Flutter and React Native is that React Native creates a bridge between Javascript and Native code while Flutter builds the components natively. This has a lot of potential performance wise. This also means Flutter provides app developers with a open canvas to create components any way they want, while React Native uses the native components of Android and iOS.
Ionic is a tool built by an independent company that allows developers to create cross-platform applications using Vanilla Javascript, Vue.Js, React.Js, or Angular.Js, making it a very attractive option to companies that want to develop a mobile app quickly with ease. They have several prebuilt components that can easily be customizes and used in the application and similarly to React Native, these components are designed for the operating system. For example, a developer simply has to add a button, and Ionic will compile it to a native looking button for Android users and the same for iOS users.
Ionic is more web based than Flutter and React Native and will loose out slightly on performance, but the framework still allows for 60 FPS applications which are pretty fast. The main benefit of Ionic is how portable the framework is. If your tea prefers Vue.Js, you can use that and if your team prefers React.Js, you can use that. Ionic also comes with tools such as Capacitor, which is a container that allows developers to publish the web application on the respective app stores.

Web app development encompasses two main categories: frontend development and backend development. Frontend development focuses on designing and structuring the user interface of the application. At our company, we primarily utilize React for frontend development. Our skilled React developers create reusable components that possess both style and functionality. These components are then seamlessly connected to data retrieved from our database.
The introduction of React revolutionized the web app development landscape. Its component-based approach empowers developers to construct highly intricate applications while ensuring efficient management as the project scales. ReactJS stands as the most popular framework in web development, boasting the largest community of developers. If you aspire to build a web application, leveraging React is an optimal choice due to its immense popularity, extensive community support, and ability to facilitate the creation of complex and scalable applications.
Among the alternatives to React, Vue.js stands out as a prominent choice. It proudly positions itself as a progressive JavaScript framework for constructing single-page web applications. Similar to React, Vue is a frontend framework that utilizes components as fundamental building blocks for web application development. However, the distinction between the two can be understood by considering React as a JavaScript-centric tool, while Vue takes a more HTML-centric approach. As a result, experienced JavaScript developers often gravitate towards React due to its closer alignment with JavaScript, while designers and beginner developers may prefer Vue because it simplifies JavaScript complexities through its intuitive functions integrated within HTML.
Vue has gained significant popularity among developers owing to its lightweight nature and user-friendly design. Currently, it ranks as the second most popular framework worldwide, just behind React. This widespread adoption has fostered a robust developer community and promises a promising future for the Vue framework. Notably, Vue has garnered substantial confidence and support in China and Asia, largely due to strong backing from Alibaba, a prominent Chinese company.
Angular is a powerful client-side MVP framework that empowers the creation of dynamic web applications. Originally developed as an internal framework at Google, it was later released as a free and open-source framework for developers worldwide. One of Angular's core features is its ability to extend HTML syntax with JavaScript, allowing developers to seamlessly style web pages and inject JavaScript functionality. This capability significantly reduces development time, making the framework highly appealing to developers.
Among front-end JavaScript frameworks, Angular is known for being more robust and feature-rich, which also makes it comparatively heavier. This is why many projects opt for alternatives like React or Vue. While Angular was developed by Google, it's worth noting that it is not extensively used in their flagship products such as YouTube and Google Search. However, this does not imply that using Angular is problematic. Google still actively supports the project, ensuring its continuous improvement and growth.
For new projects, we typically recommend considering alternatives like React or Vue, which offer lightweight and versatile solutions. Nonetheless, the backing of Google and the ongoing development of Angular ensure its viability and potential for specific use cases. It remains a solid choice for projects that require a robust framework with a comprehensive feature set.
Node.js is a runtime built on Chrome that empowers developers to utilize JavaScript as a backend or scripting language. While Node.js can be used for frontend development, its true strength lies in other areas. There are more specialized tools available that excel in frontend development. However, Node.js offers distinct advantages such as speed, ease of use, and its reliance on JavaScript, making it a popular choice for various use cases.
Node.js shines in backend development, specifically in tasks that occur in the background. Our skilled Node developers leverage its capabilities to create functions that perform specific tasks, commonly referred to as APIs. These APIs can be seamlessly invoked on the frontend to fetch data or trigger actions. Additionally, Node.js is well-suited for developing APIs that facilitate real-time communication and is widely employed in IoT (Internet of Things) and automation projects.
Python is a highly versatile programming language with diverse applications across various domains. In web development, Python is commonly employed in conjunction with frameworks such as Django or Flask to create functional frontend web applications. Python's flexibility extends beyond web development, enabling the development of games and desktop applications. However, what truly sets Python apart is its exceptional prowess in the realms of science and mathematics.
Python's immense power in scientific computing and mathematical operations makes it an ideal choice for developing AI/ML models, as well as for big data and analytics projects. Its rich ecosystem of libraries further solidifies its position as the language of choice in these fields. Libraries such as Pandas, NumPy, SciPy, Scikit-learn, Matplotlib, Plotly, TensorFlow, Keras, and PyTorch are extensively used in AI and machine learning projects. These libraries serve as the foundation for numerous AI and machine learning endeavors, and Python's adoption ensures seamless access to their capabilities.
While our primary utilization of Python revolves around backend development, we also leverage its strengths for certain frontend web projects. Python's expanding prominence as the go-to language for AI and machine learning, coupled with its vast library support, solidifies its position as a powerful tool for building advanced applications and tackling complex data-driven challenges.
Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) offer a compelling solution for enhancing user experience and expanding the reach of web applications. With PWAs, a web app can be saved to the home screen of a mobile device, providing users with the convenience of accessing it just like a traditional app. Moreover, by converting a web app into a PWA, it can even be published on platforms like the Google Play store, eliminating the need for users to download a separate app. This seamless accessibility increases user engagement and eliminates barriers to entry.
PWAs are particularly advantageous when you want to interact with an app and share it without necessarily saving it to the home screen. They offer a lightweight and versatile alternative to traditional mobile application development, making them an ideal solution for a website with a mobile experience.
