The Pain of Mobile Dev

Why we built Nitron.

🐘

Android Studio

Requires 8GB+ RAM, massive Gradle downloads, complex JDK configurations, and learning native toolchains just to wrap a webview.

🐢

Cordova / Capacitor

They claim "web-first" but still force you to install Android SDKs and wait minutes for Gradle builds every time you compile.

📱

PWAs

Great for the web, but you can't upload a PWA directly to Google Play. Users prefer installing real apps from the store.

How It Works

An elegant 8-step pipeline, running entirely in Node.js.
