What is cross-platform development?
Cross-platform development ensures software compatibility across all devices, not just iPhones and Androids. It allows seamless operation on smartphones and computers, utilizing a single codebase for multiple platforms. Device-agnostic apps function regardless of the operating system. This strategy simplifies development, saving time, cost, and labor. Designli's success in cross-platform app development is evident, having served numerous clients effectively.

Benefits of cross-platform development.
Cross-platform development offers a cost-effective, efficient, and scalable approach to building software applications that reach a wider audience and provide a consistent user experience across different platforms. This approach saves businesses time and money and allows them to cater to a diverse user base without compromising on the quality of their applications.
Progressive web apps vs. mobile apps.
Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) and cross-platform Mobile apps address real-life challenges with similar features like mobile friendliness, installability, and offline functionality. Both leverage GPS integration and push notifications, offering comparable user experiences. Yet, PWAs are web-accessible, streamlining access and reducing approval processes, while mobile apps are store-downloadable. PWAs offer cross-platform compatibility, easy maintenance, and cost-effective updates, while mobile apps prioritize performance, battery efficiency, and security.
Streamlining PWAs and mobile app development through strategic back-end development.
When you have significant development experience, like the team at Designli, you find solutions to pressing questions, “What's better for my business, developing a PWA or a mobile app?
To this, we say – why not do both, smarter? We've found that clients who invest in developing their back-end framework with a single, cohesive language can give them the ability to efficiently release both a PWA and a Mobile App without unnecessary re-writes. Depending on the time frame and project scope, Designli can create a plan that prioritizes short- and long-term release goals based on what makes sense for each client's unique needs.
Tech stack recommendations.
Optimizing back-end performance is critical to approaching long-term development plans and preventing future headaches. As more products, like PWAs or Mobile Apps, enter the project queue, it's paramount that the back-end framework is solid, strategic, and cohesive.

Back-end development:
NODE JS.NodeJS is a JavaScript runtime built on Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine. Node.js allows the creation of web servers and networking tools using JavaScript and a collection of "modules" that handle various core functionalities. NodeJS is the best solution for lightweight applications using real-time data.NEST JS.NestJS is an excellent framework that combines the strengths of NodeJS and TypeScript. This combination makes NestJS fast and easy to build robust, almost infinitely scalable applications, which are ideal for supporting our enterprise clients. -
Front-end development:
REACT & REACT NATIVE.Once you've shored up back-end development, you can develop multiple products that connect to the same back-end codebase, like PWAs or cross-platform mobile apps. With a scalable back-end in place, your developers an use React for responsive websites or React Native for mobile apps deployed to both iPhone and Android devices.
