I work in mobile and respectfully disagree with it having no impact on time to show. You might not notice much difference if you are inside your house using gigabit WiFi, but go load your dashboard on a slow 3G/4G network lol
Sure, there is a higher development cost but you get what you pay for in this case. The project already supports native apps for Android, iOS and Mac.
That makes no sense. Are you are implying that somehow going native gets you faster network transmission speeds?
Besides, the dashboards in home assistant are heavily customizable with css, which means that just using native components is not practically feasible.
No. If the components are native they can be loaded immediately without network transmission. The network calls for the current status of entities can happen in parallel and would complete much faster than one large webpage load.
And your standard cards can not be modded with CSS unless you install something 3rd party that allows that.
The native apps are functionally webapps, they are not "native". You should be able to tell that if you "work in mobile".
