Hi,

I read a lot here about the comparison between PWA standalones (not on the App Store/Play Store) and native apps from the stores. The difference in reach & marketing is huge. That is clear.

But what about a PWA wrapped inside a native Capacitor app, built as an APK, AAB, or IPA, and uploaded to the App Store/Play Store like any other mobile app?
How does this compare to a Native App, while, again, both are uploaded to the App Store/Play Store?

Pros / Cons?
Any huge difference? I Don't want to use the phone camera, location, health data, etc.?

Hey all.

Not a dev here. A Marketing guy...
But I've been building app ideas (PRDs, UX, mockups) using AI tools to get to real prototypes.

Been using Base44/Replit-style vibe coding so far.
Fast, no code, works great for prototyping.
I feel every prompt becomes more expensive in these tools.

Also, I keep seeing people rave about Claude Code + Expo + Supabase for more "real" apps, better performance, actual App Store & Play Store shipping, more control.

For a non-technical person who's comfortable with logic/systems, is it worth jumping now, or overkill before I've validated anything?

Curious:

• How rough was the learning curve?
• Anyone regret starting no-code first, or was it the right call?
• Supabase gotchas for a solo non-dev?

Would love real talk from people who've made this jump (or didn't). Trying to decide if I keep prototyping where I am or just go for it now.

Hi everyone,

I'm building a research-heavy app on Base44, and I've run into a wall with SEO. Since it’s a Single Page Application (SPA), it seems like crawlers (Google, etc.) aren't reliably picking up the dynamic title tags and meta descriptions I’m setting for my individual research article pages.

Because of this, my research content isn't indexing properly.

I’m looking for advice on how to handle SEO in a Base44-hosted React SPA.

• Are you all using a specific library or a different approach for dynamic metadata?
• Has anyone found a reliable way to make sure these tags are "seen" by crawlers?

Currently, all my research pages under the SPA have the same meta tags (same title tag, same meta description, etc.)

Any tips, links to docs, or "gotchas" you've encountered would be a massive help. Thanks!
