good article Except it says average cost of developing an costs around 130-150K !! Btw, I see there are lot of small firms in india that have done 2-5M or more in revenue just on one platform... very nice !! Don't say you don't have enough time.

The irony of Software Development practices is that end-goal is Reusable Systems, while end-result is that nothing is reusable. This is like buying a Car, or a House. This moment, this budget, what works will satisfy my requirement NOW anukunte, 6 months lo you'll see downtrends. "Chill Bro. I told you to let it go!!" - The Budhha. | ||

just trash the code and go back to step 1 if native is required. Cycle has to be at most 2 months to production if it is a personal project. No 5 year plans  . My info is based on my employer's enterprise app so did not use any upwork resources.Ours is Native though because of our requirement. Look around for apps doing the similar thing as yours and check the stack they are using. If this is your own retail business, then most likely your requirement is simple- develop a POC for both Hybrid and Native in 1 week and see what works for you best. Consider the APP approval and release via AppStores ... thats a PITA as well. Check the upgrade/bugfix-release process for both approaches.

thank you for the feedback.... If we go with Hybrid + CMS... and later if you want to switch to native... do we have to start from step 1 or can anything be reused ? Same with CMS also Another Q- did you hire your own team to do it or worked with a company ? Did you try UpWork or similar platforms ? Don't say you don't have enough time.

I will answer Question 2. Question 1 is actually directed to Server Side Developers. My personal take, custom home-brewed code-base for servicing over http, is plenty of pain. Maintainability, flexibility, reliability, Stability, too many factors to consider. Buy a service, use the service, scale the service, pay for the service, monetize on the service is best option. Change the thread title, and call for Server Side Architects and System Designers. They'll be able to suggest off-the-shelf software products and suites so you don't have to do anything on your end. As for Question 2, yes, Hybrid seemingly is very fast develop-to-release time, but the downside, none of the frameworks out there give you the native feel. User Experience on the Browser is not the same as iOS or Android. Mobile Browser compatible web-pages have other challenges. The very selling-point of React Native, that you can develop code in Javascript, and compile and bundle it separately for different Display Platforms, is it's own downside, because it does not deliver what it promises. Same goes for SenchaTouch, Cordova, Kony etc etc. TLDR; UI is crucial for success for any EComm business. Investing in Native approaches each for Desktop Browser, iOS and Android App experiences is guaranteed ROI. "Chill Bro. I told you to let it go!!" - The Budhha. | ||

been there done that.. Everything comes down to budget/time and requirement (like anything else ) Native if: app has lot of calculations/alogs on data entry/ click delay is not acceptable . In my line of work UI delay has to be sub-second and connectivity can be iffy - so we use native-occasiablly connected model. If your requirement is just listing of items and user is reviewing details/adding to cart / and checking out.. then Hybrid is the best choice and you can go with shopify etc. Consider this an iteration... get the first iteration out the door with hybrid+CMS platform .. take further decisions based on feedback. | ||

no mobile app developers here?  Don't say you don't have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michaelangelo, Mother Teresea, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein | ||

First, Jambal bro... if possible... pls answer in layman terms :-) Here are some questions for mobile app developers / architects: Goal - to create retail mobile app Option 1 - Go with CMS platforms such as Shopify etc so you don't have to build backend admin dashboards, apis etc. Option 2 - Build your own custom admin dashboard and backend APIs Obviously option 2 will cost more. Which one do you recommend if the app is going to have huge volume ? Any downside to Option 1? Question 2: Build the app using Hybrid or Native mode? Hybrid takes less time / less cost but not sure what is the downside to it? Don't say you don't have enough time.
