Ionic Developers Make Coronavirus-Related Apps

by Taylor Kennedy

More than 20 Ionic developers have created coronavirus-related apps, the company announced today.

“As the world tries to make sense of the rapidly evolving COVID-19 outbreak and ensuing social and economic crisis, developers in the Ionic community are leading the charge to inform and help the public,” Ionic CEO Max Lynch said in a blog post. “We’re so proud of the time and effort the Ionic community is putting into the response.”

The apps for mobile and web include COVID-19 trackers, a video chat and home activities for children.

According to Lynch, Ionic’s Progressive Web App-first approach has been “crucial” to the developers, who have faced increased iOS and Google app store review times.
