Capacitor

Build web apps that run natively on mobile and the web.

Capacitor launched on March 27, 2018 with 2 votes. The site was still online in September 2026, 8 years on.

What it does

Capacitor is a cross-platform app runtime that makes it easy to build web apps that run natively on iOS, Android, Electron, and the web. We call these apps "Native Progressive Web Apps" and they represent the next evolution beyond Hybrid apps.

Build iOS, Android, and Progressive Web Apps with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript

Capacitor is an open source native runtime for building Web Native apps. Create cross-platform iOS, Android, and Progressive Web Apps with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. Capacitor’s native plugin APIs make it extremely easy to access and invoke common device functionality across multiple platforms. Ship cross-platform mobile apps 10X faster. We wrote a free guide on when and why to use Capacitor to build cross-platform apps. Build web-based applications that run equally well across iOS, Android, and as Progressive Web Apps. Access the full Native SDKs on each platform, and easily deploy to the App Stores (and the web). Add custom native functionality with a simple Plugin API, or use existing…from capacitorjs.com

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
