I personally have little to no experience adapting websites for mobile users, but Ionic has all of that built in so the developer never has to think twice about it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Analytics:\u00a0<\/strong>By incorporating Google Analytics, Ionic\u00a0offers integrated insight on your application&#8217;s usage. It gives information about traffic, demographics, etc. Everything you would expect from a Google Analytics plug-in.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/forum.ionicframework.com\/uploads\/default\/original\/4\/c\/4c339f389d3a8dc23a521f97b3c96efc53cf03b8.jpg\" alt=\"Image result for ionic analytics\" width=\"701\" height=\"307\" \/>Courtesy of:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/forum.ionicframework.com\/t\/my-google-analytics-in-my-ionic-app-doesnt-report-any-active-app-user\/21073\/5\">Ionic Forum Post<\/a><\/li>\n<li><strong>Community:\u00a0<\/strong>This is often a lost\/forgotten aspect of a framework. Ionic has a very strong community with active forums where users are happy to help with any technical troubleshooting that needs to be done.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">The Bad<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Mobile-centric:\u00a0<\/strong>While I totally understand the intent of Ionic is to make mobile web development better\/easier, it is certainly not for use in developing a full-desktop web application. This is typically the area I work in, so I may be unfairly weighing this as a negative. But even then, it&#8217;s less of a drawback and more of a limitation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>That&#8217;s really all there is for bad stuff regarding Ionic. Most of the web development I do is intended for desktop users. Thus, Ionic wouldn&#8217;t be a great choice for me. However, if I were to (and I should) start shifting the focus of my development towards bringing in a more mobile audience, Ionic would hands-down be my first choice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Back at it again with the painfully alliterated titles!
