Framework7 is a mature development framework that includes components to create mobile applications. If you like; mobile first web development.

The framework7 framework is FREE and Open Source, but none the less allows you to develop mobile, desktop or web apps with a look and feel of the native apps on the various app stores.

If you know HTML, CSS and a bit of javascript you can be up and running in no time, creating mobile first apps. The beauty of this framework is your app looks the same on the desktop, or mobile device and is always up to date.

Take a look at the mobile emulator on the framework7.io home page or view it directly on your desktop – it will give you a good idea of the native components available, plus a good overview.

What can you use Framework7 for

• Prototyping apps
• Developing web based apps (Progressive Web Apps – PWA's)
• Paired with other tools such as Electron allows you build native desktop apps
• In addition to the vanilla JS library included, framework7 comes with Vue.js, React and Svelte components.
• Ready to use ICONS for dialogues, actions, popups, lists, tabs, panels, etc.
• Examples are provided (I use the FEEDS Plugin to create a Mobile RSS reader easily) and templates

Pop over to their Github and download the core framework7 framework and give it a go :)

You can do a manual install as simply as:

$ npm install framework7
