About

Capacitor is an open-source native runtime that enables developers to build cross-platform iOS, Android, and Progressive Web Apps using standard web technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It provides a plugin API to access native device features such as camera, geolocation, notifications, and haptics. Developers can drop it into any existing web framework project, including React, Vue, or Svelte, and deploy to app stores.

Problem

Web developers need a way to access native mobile device APIs and ship to app stores without learning platform-specific languages.
