  1. A lot of confusion at the start around what is Hybrid, what is Partially Native, what is Fully Native. The @NetflixEng folks are not the only ones trying to make sense of this. That is one of the reasons I put my thoughts and research together for youtube.com/watch?v=sA_JIqqj9js @NetflixEng/1361341749365415937

      Just noticed the tweet is from Feb 2021, but the recording is from Jan 2019 So they wouldn't have seen me at @TheLeadDev unless they were able to travel a few months into the future. I hope folks from @NetflixEng were able to see my talk while this discussion was on their minds

      The ideas in there are not outdated but some of the specifics of the example technologies are

        PhoneGap was also explicitly mentioned in the podcast. One reason we don't hear about it much anymore is because it was sunset. @piannaf/1293232068189618176

          I expect more full-service hybrid technology like Cordova to slowly go away until it becomes more of a niche/legacy tech. There will always be room for the BaseCamp way of hybrid m.signalvnoise.com/basecamp-3-for-ios-hybrid-architecture/ And jury is still out on PWAs

            I consider PWAs to be platform supported hybrid applications. That is, without a third-party like Cordova. Unlike cordova, though, what PWAs can do is dependent what the platform supports. PWA + Wasm makes Web more Native Check on various devices here whatwebcando.today/

              And the partially native solutions like React Native and Flutter will continue to grow market-share, especially with traditionally web-based orgs, or other orgs that aren't ready to invest in fully native mobile.

                That is, as long as FB and Shopify keep investing in RN, and Google keeps investing in Flutter Side note: even @tobi is not so thrilled about PWA (Shopify easily could have invested there instead of, or along with, RN) @tobi/1182728545715535873

                  With Google and JetBrains behind Kotlin Multiplatform, and the tooling slowly, but surely, maturing and becoming more comprehensive (@TouchlabHQ helping out with that). And folks like @NetflixEng putting it into production netflixtechblog.com/netflix-android-and-ios-studio-apps-kotlin-multiplatform-d6d4d8d25d23 it's also not going away soon

                    So yeah, there's definitely a spectrum of web-hybrid-native and I love the term Fully Native to encompass Native to Developers (language, tooling, etc), Native to Platform (compilation output, interop, etc), and Native to Users (UX, performance, etc)
