Hey everyone 👋
As you may know, I work as a DevRel at Capawesome, and a big part of my job is building demo apps to help developers understand how to use Capacitor plugins to create great mobile experiences.
Since Capacitor is framework-agnostic, every time I start a new demo app I run into the same question:
Should I build it with a framework (Angular/React/Vue/etc.) or keep it vanilla JS?
In my experience, using a framework makes the project easier to structure and follow. At the same time, I worry that choosing a specific framework might discourage people who don’t use it from even checking out the demo—even though the plugin integration itself is framework-agnostic.
So I’d really love your input:
- What do you prefer for demo apps?
- Do you actually use demo apps when evaluating tools?
- What makes a demo app truly useful for you?
Thanks a lot, I really appreciate any feedback 🙌
