Capacitor has been around for a while, at least for a couple of years. I think it's the Ionic team's response to the EOL for Cordova/Phonegap.

I've been stung by ionic/drifty a couple of times, but I really hope this project survives. There are some great ideas here.



Recently I had to rebuild an iOS app originally built in Ionic2 / Cordova 4.5.

I was pleasantly surprised it basically built in one go on a fresh MacOS install with the latest Ionic and Cordova 6.5.

I didn't expect that.


Sorry you've been stung before! Capacitor is definitely here to stay. The project has been taking off recently and is powering the majority of apps for our users and customers today. Also we're starting to see more platforms that used to be powered by Cordova start to switch to Capacitor so that should further solidify its staying power.
