## What it is
A starter template for building iOS, Android, and Progressive Web Apps using Next.js, React, Tailwind CSS, Ionic Framework, and Capacitor. It provides a preconfigured project structure with build and sync scripts to export a static Next.js app into native mobile projects.

## Use cases
- build a cross-platform mobile app with react and nextjs
- create an ios and android app from a web codebase
- start a nextjs project styled with tailwind and ionic components
- ship a progressive web app that also runs natively
- bootstrap a capacitor project with ionic framework ui
- use native device features from a react web app

## When to choose
- you want a single react codebase targeting ios, android, and web
- you prefer tailwind css styling with ionic navigation components
- you need a maintained, batteries-included starting point for capacitor apps

## When to avoid
- you need server-side rendering or strong SEO out of the box, since the app is statically exported client-side
- you want flutter, react native, or kotlin/swift native development
- you need heavy API route usage without extra configuration
