We built Ionic because the options for using HTML5 in native apps weren't good enough. They weren't built to focus on
10-
native apps targeting the newest of devices. They had too many hacks to support old devices that didn't have
11-
meaningful market share, or they were too focused on building mobile websites.

We built Ionic because we wanted a framework that focused on building hybrid native apps, rather than mobile websites. We wanted this framework to be obsessive about great design and performance. A framework that left the past behind and focused on the future where mobile devices could make HTML5 feel native.
