Ionic, a six-year-old project seeking to make a bigger name for itself in the world of mobile app development, recently shipped an update to its major v4.0 release and soon after appealed to PhoneGap developers to get on board.

Ionic uses standard Web tech to help developers create native and progressive Web apps with its Ionic Framework, relying heavily upon Web Components, a set of Web platform APIs that help coders create new custom, reusable, encapsulated HTML tags for Web pages and apps.
