    1. Ionic is highly regarded for its easy integration with a wide range of modern frameworks and technologies. This compatibility simplifies mobile app development for developers using popular frameworks like Angular, React, and Vue.js. The flexibility of the Ionic platform allows developers to choose the best-suited framework for each project. Additionally, Ionic offers a rich selection of plugins and integrations. These tools help developers seamlessly add diverse features and functionalities to mobile applications, making customization straightforward.

      The Ionic framework has emerged as a top contender for modern app development, offering seamless performance, cross-platform compatibility, and cost-efficiency. Its ability to integrate with multiple APIs and tools ensures faster development cycles. Businesses can leverage Ionic for progressive web apps and native-like mobile apps without the overhead of maintaining separate codebases.

    1. Progressive Web Apps (PWA) are a new trend in mobile application development that are rapidly gaining popularity due to their ability to mimic the experience of native mobile applications while running directly from a user's web browser. Comment Progressive Web Apps are built using web technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, but are optimised for smaller screens and limited internet connectivity. They are more reliable, engaging, and faster than traditional web apps and can work seamlessly on any device and platform.

      Deliver Progressive Web Apps with the capability of allowing fast, reliable, and engaging user experiences across platforms. PWAs are the best of both worlds, taking all that a web app has to offer you and pairing it with everything that its rival-the mobile application-provides, thus including offline functionality, push notifications, and an interface similar to that of an app-but without the app store. Whether better engagement or performance, PWAs are a cost-effective option for business companies.

    1. Capacitor's origins lie in Ionic's mission to provide a holistic framework for developing hybrid apps—apps that run on mobile devices, on desktops, and in the browser. It does not only replace Apache Cordova as a “bridge” to native platform access in new Ionic projects but also “provides a consistent, web-focused set of APIs”.

    1. I’ve found Canvas to be less draconian than I’d been led to expect. More broadly, the LMS ecosystem that’s emerged — based on a standard called Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI), now supported by all the LMS systems — led me to an insight about how the same approach could help unify the emerging ecosystem of annotation systems. Even more broadly, all this has prompted me to reflect on how the modern web platform is both more standardized and more balkanized than ever before.

      ...

      The app I’ve written is a thin layer of glue between two components: Canvas and Hypothes.is. LTI defines how they interact, and I’d be lying if I said it was easy to figure out to get our app to launch inside Canvas and respond back to it. But I didn’t need to be an HTTP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, or Python wizard to get the job done.

    1. Set Semantics¶ This tool is used to set semantics in EPUB files. Semantics are simply, links in the OPF file that identify certain locations in the book as having special meaning. You can use them to identify the foreword, dedication, cover, table of contents, etc. Simply choose the type of semantic information you want to specify and then select the location in the book the link should point to. This tool can be accessed via Tools->Set semantics.

      Though it’s described in such a simple way, there might be hidden power in adding these tags, especially when we bring eBooks to the Semantic Web. Though books are the prime example of a “Web of Documents”, they can also contribute to the “Web of Data”, if we enable them. It might take long, but it could happen.

    1. export books as apps

      On top of the whole debate between native apps and the Open Web, there’s a debate between apps and books. We might not reach the “Write Once, Publish Everywhere” dream, but there’s something to be said about having building blocks which are easy to adapt to different contexts.

    1. In Application Shell Architecture, the shell is served up by the Service Worker and then the content is delivered—often cached by the Service Worker—dynamically from its source through API requests.

      "Progressive Web Apps", an idea for better mobile performance using HTML5 Service Workers.
