I'm curious what you guys would have to say about whether I should code up the phone UI for https://soundportals.live or if I should make an iOS app for it instead.
my friend does a simliar app and the ios app def outperformed the web app in terms of people signing up
Wait until your main website is relatively stable without getting slowed down by app development. Speed to iterate and find MVP is your major advantage as a startup and trying to do an app at the same time will majorly hamper this
Thanks for the advice!
Personally I'm in app overload. It takes a lot to get me to install yet another app on my phone. My recommendation would be to make your website usable on phones. That will also help your desktop experience (your images are huge).
Yes, I've heard that continually working on it!
What size do you recommend I make them in pixel dimentions?
Edit: I decided on 432x242
I have several different sizes of the same image, and load the best one based on the browser width. Read up on responsive images.
There are several approaches to implementing it. Typically it's done like the article I linked to describes, or using CSS media queries. I'm using React with the Material-UI library, so I use material-ui's
withWidthhigher-order component. If you look at the image on a landing page I'm working on for a new app, it's rendered using myFriendsReact component:I have
friends-xs.jpg,friends-sm.jpg, etc in my images folder.PWA then embed in webview and publish to the stores. But the latter seems like a lot of work. A PWA doesn't have to be saved to the home screen and both can work offline.
An app would be lovely!
I would go for both! Make it as easy as possible for people to interact with your product.
You could also go the hybrid route, where you take your web version and make that work as an app, by using ionic for example

I'm an iOS dev first, but I do believe validating is important first, the question is, however, would more people enjoy listening to content like Spotify on their phone or online...
That's my thought as well, and I started my tech career working for an iOS shop.
