Hotwire Native
Hotwire Native
Hotwire Native is a modern approach to app development that bridges the best of both worlds—native performance and web-based efficiency. Built on StimulusJS and the Hotwire stack, it allows us to reuse your existing web application and seamlessly deliver it as a native mobile app, while progressively layering in native functionality where it matters.
This means no duplicate codebases, no lengthy app store deployment delays for every change, and no complex frontend frameworks just for the sake of going “native.” Instead, you get a highly responsive, app-like experience that evolves with your product—fast, affordable, and easy to maintain.
Why We Use Hotwire Native
With Hotwire Native, we can turn your existing web platform into a fully functional mobile app with a dramatically reduced development cycle. Changes to your core application go live instantly, without waiting for App Store or Google Play approvals. And when you need native features—like push notifications, offline access, or device sensors—they’re integrated progressively, without rewriting your entire UI.
