Website or app first? How to connect them in the future?

Question

Mobile development

Good afternoon, I plan to create a website and a mobile application for it. But I wondered what to develop first: a website or an application? Explain briefly how I can link the site and application.

Silly questions, but I'm just getting started :)

Answer 1

There is such a concept Mobile first. The main point is that you are doing the layout for a mobile application, write the desktop version later.
It’s worth starting with a plan, throw in the architecture of the application and supplement with details.
Develop the backend, possibly using temporary stubs.
Work out authentication, communication with the user, business logic.
Conduct all communication with the site through api.
If a mobile application involves more than just a mobile site, consider what you need in the interface and use the code from the site as much as possible.
Ps this is all applicable to "information" projects. If the application itself is "utilitarian", then it will have little relation to the site, but still leave a maximum of common code for reuse.
Accordingly, the mobile part is written in Swift for both platforms. With the server part of the misunderstanding. I would recommend netcore. But there seems to be https://github.com/vapor/vapor, maybe it's better to use it so as not to go beyond SWIFT.
