I know the comments will be "ew" but as a short term solution, can you just make a native app that's a webview and enable the few app only things with custom injected APIs?

Then your iteration stays ~ the same.

Great suggestion, definitely would consider it, the roadmap for now is to have a solid core as a PWA, would love to understand your requirement and use case : pls feel free to send an email to hello@getdock.io
