Mobile vs Web Apps: What Should You Build?

The Billion Dollar Question
"Should we build an App or a Website?" It's the first question every startup founder asks. The answer isn't "Yes"; it's "Which one first?"
The Case for Web (PWA)
- Reach: Accessible by anyone with a URL.
- Cost: Single codebase for desktop and mobile.
- Speed: Updates are instant. No app store approval queues.
The Case for Native (iOS/Android)
- Power: Direct access to GPS, Bluetooth, and Camera.
- Habit: Push notifications drive daily retention.
- Prestige: Being on the App Store signals legitimacy.
