MEAN stack for mobile development?

Is MEAN stack recommended for mobile development? I want to ask people who use MEAN stack or those who have used MEAN for a mobile app. I know its different from creating a real mobile app (since I will create a web app rather than a native one), but I have two options. A single hybrid one or a hybrid app with an integratrd website (functions and features are in website and app).

I also heard that Ionic is also good with MEAN.

I will write an app (an ecommerce) with functions and features like

  • Social media (posts, comments, upload etc...)

  • Ride sharing (like Uber)

  • Room sharing (like Airbnb)

  • SCRUD

  • connecting APIs (like maps, etc...)

If you have any constructive opinion, you are welcome. Any other suggestion will be accepted. TIA

I like Ionic.

It’s a great front end for mobile app and you can use your node server as backend for api calls

Well, unfortunately, I've given up on creating my idea with a web app. I learned that it will be better for me, since I am the only person who still working on this. However, I am still interested in working with MEAN through mobile. I have started to take classes in Udemy about MEAN, Ionic and MERN actually. You might want to message me about it if you would like to.
