Capacitor

You're working with Capacitor. Ionic's wrapper — ship your React / Vue / Svelte web app as a native iOS and Android binary.

Best practices:
- Lean on: reuse your existing web ui
- Lean on: plugin api for native features
- Lean on: great fit for internal apps and mvps

Things to watch for:
- Watch out for: not truly native — it's a webview
- Watch out for: performance ceiling lower than rn / flutter

General guidance:
- Canonical docs: https://capacitorjs.com — check here before inventing APIs.
- Keep secrets in environment variables, never commit them.
- Write TypeScript where the ecosystem supports it; add types to every exported function.
- Add tests for the critical paths before declaring the task done.
- Read-the-docs is usually faster than guessing — cite the docs page in code comments when you apply a non-obvious pattern.
