Why isn't Ionic more famous?
Everything I build I use Ionic for the frontend because of the capability of sharing alot of code for web and mobile. But I don't see that many offers where Ionic is a requirements or in interviews when I mention Ionic most of times they don't know what it is. How come it isn't more famous? I just find it the perfect tech for front end developments
If you're building a Capacitor app and need a solid way to handle local data, I put together a practical SQLite tutorial.
SQLite gives you a much more robust alternative to things like localStorage or IndexedDB:
- Structured queries, filtering, and relationships
- Fast and predictable performance
- Transactions for data consistency
- Same API across iOS, Android, and Web
In the video I focus on the fundamentals with a simple demo:
- CRUD operations
- Transactions (how to use them properly)
- Structuring your data layer in a Capacitor app
I also included free starter apps so you don’t have to start from scratch:

Would love feedback or to hear how you’re handling local data in your apps 🙌
The project uses capacitor-sqlite plugin which is only available to Capawesome Insiders.
