Ask HN: How are you building cross-platform (mobile and browser) apps?
7 by aosaigh | 2 comments on Hacker News.
I've been developing web apps for 5+ years and in my next project I've been tasked with building a mobile (iOS and Android) app that we can also run as a web app. I would obviously like to try keep a single code base for simplicity as we have limited resources. I've investigated writing a PWA but I'm put off by the arbritrary heuristics that Google are placing on whether or not the apps are presented as "installable". After that, it seems the only options are Ionic, or React Native + separate web app. What is your experience writing apps for both mobile and browser?

New top story on Hacker News: Ask HN: Looking for a simple solution for building an online course

Ask HN: Looking for a simple solution for building an online course 11 by r4victor | 2 comments on Hacker News. I want to build an online course on graph algorithms for my university. I've tried to find a solution which would let submit, execute and test student's code (implement an online judge), but have had no success. There are a lot of complex LMS and none of them seem to have this feature as a basic functionality. Are there any good out-of-box solutions? I'm sure I can build a course using Moodle or another popular LMS with some plugin, but I don't want to spend my time customizing things. I'm interested both in platforms and self-hosted solutions. Thanks!
