So I tested @getcapacitor today. Followed the docs. Built a custom plugin & published it to NPM. Used old Cordova Plugins. Used Live Reload. Recorded a Vlog about it. I am happy. It just works.
This week I investigated using 9-Patch files to create adaptable splash screens for your Android @getcapacitor applications: joshmorony.com/creating-a-dy… - this process allows you to create just one splash screen for each resolution, rather than for all sizes
Took a look at @getcapacitor after it's beta stage. It's super lit.
Many reasons to shift from cordova and native.
Only thing is lack of plugins. But i will it will get there.
Exciting times ahead.

#MyIonicStory
A 10-year journey:
From .NET backend dev
to learning JavaScript
to building Cordova apps
to joining Ionic
to helping launch... @getcapacitor😊
I like this a lot. Make me think that our work at Ionic is not just making cool shit, but actually changing peoples lives. So tell me, what's your @Ionicframework story? #MyIonicStory
I wanted to see how well a react library would "just work" in an @Ionicframework app. Loaded it up in @getcapacitor and deployed to iOS. All it took was like...what... 10mins?
Code coming soon.
Betas are so last week. A brief update on what the Capacitor team has been up to:

Finally playing around with @getcapacitor and it’s definitely a step up from using #Cordova in terms of user experience and ease of use. Nice work @Ionicframework, well worth using in beta.
