I wanted to create an simple iphone/ web app, but it requires complicated process of getting Apple dev account & making you I meet all requirements etc..

I figure its easier to create user friendly web app using jQuery mobile version from here https://demos.jquerymobile.com/

Is this too old of a style to use? or is there better process. what I am looking for users to open website & browse it like they are using an app.

live example here https://www.jotform.com/blog/jquery-mobile-tutorial-creating-a-restaurant-picker-web-app/

In my opinion, jQuery Mobile has been old like 7 years ago. As in 7 Years ago when I started Cordova, jQuery Mobile was old.

I am not a fan of ionic so I would not suggest it, thought it is popular. For minor mobile websites like this I use a lesser known one Framework7

Framework7 is like the best framework I've found for minor websites like this. It does not include Npm bs. It's just plain Old JS. Include a Script tag and all good.
 
Don’t waste your time with jQuery. What you are asking for is a progressive web app. Have a look at React/Vue/Angular, Next JS, or Meteor.

Where can I find demo of those? Just simple nothing to fancy
 
What for real? It is so old, i think it was active around the spanish flu pandemic.

Go with React/React Native.
 
Also instead of a framework (Angular, React, Vue, etc) you could go for just DOM manipulation, I don’t see the need of a framework if you are just going for something simple

He’s not going for something simple he wants a PWA.

Have a look at Next JS https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/examples/progressive-web-app. If you stick with it and learn it you can build all kinds of websites from simple static sites, web apps, and you could even use Wordpress as a headless CMS.

Meteor is another one you can consider. It allows you to build web, mobile, and desktop apps with the same code base and in JavaScript for the front end and back end. It’s great for quick prototyping and small scale applications.

Thanks, I will look into. I don't even need an application, just a browsing page such as user-friendly. It would be click 1 link, goto next link in PHP & play video. nothing to fancy. I am scraping links from another website using DOM.
 
I would've recommended Svelte with Sapper, but they're in the process of combining the two.(Svelte kit)
Sapper auto generates a progressive web app (PWA). Which makes your website behave like a native app, which the user can view and use offline
They guy behind it all, Rich Harris, is a fucking genius
I've used Vue and Nuxt before, but Svelte /Sapper is the next level.
My only problem is I've got a project up in the air waiting for the new release
Here's a good overview of the new Svelte kit

The photos/examples on their home page use Nokia’s and Blackberry’s. Yes it’s old.

i just found out about Svelt earlier today when I was reading about Budibase. Both projects caught my interest.
 
Are you making a mobile site or mobile app?

I'm pretty sure jquery mobile is for mobile sites and not a solution for compiling apps.

Have you tried doing it using expo? Working with the framework can be easy. :)
