Has any of you turned a django app to an mobile app ? How hard / long was it ?

by

Hello,

I'm working on a website and one of its app would benefit to be immediately available to mobile users through an app, it doesn't need to be native.

​

So I did a couple of google queries, and turns out it seems possible using (for android) Webviews.

I've no experience with Android development, I only know web-related stack (Python / Javascript / HTML / CSS ...)

Has any of you done the process of serving a deployed django app in a mobile app without doing it all over in native ?

  2. In theory it’s not too complicated.

    If you’ve heard of having a decoupled front-end and back-end, it’s the same thing.

    You can have the back-end be Django, while you have 2 front ends that talk to your app. One is the web version, through either Django Templates or a JS framework (React, Vue, etc). The second is your native app (either through proper Swift, or using an in between tool like Electron, Flutter, React Native)

    (I’m just speaking conceptually, I have not personally done this, just what I’ve seen on the internet)
