So what is the plan... The Initial thought is to switch from jQuery Mobile and Base PhoneGab. To only Ionic 3 (or any version available) Web only App.
I have some experience with AngularJS (v. 1) and even knowing that it has changed allot I am sure that it is the right choice.
Also if i have to go back to do Phonegap/Cordova Apps then Ionics support that as well.
Even though I am a Visual Studio guy, after some discussions with people on PhoneGap day 2017 I have decided to go Vcode.
I have started by reading this book: Mobile App Development with Ionic 2
This book is Ionic2 but mentions Ionic 3 and it even has a chapter on PWA so I have high hopes that it will help me get started. I am half into the book and it has helped me allot already.. Will update you all in coming Blogs on the last part of the book.
I also have a plan to switch from a C# / MS-SQL backend to a Firebase based backend, at least for the Devices. Reason for this is 2 fold
The App should allow for individuals to have their own data without sharing it with other users.
An app like this I will be able to test layout, Browser and device support and test offline and online behaviour on Uploads and data capture.
Later on i will share this Research project on Github, and online for you to look and test it.
I already know that there is allot of differences on different Browsers and Mobile devices, but what we at least need to be able to is to read and deliver data, locations and photos.
And it need to have a App feel to the whole usage from UI to Offline usage and data share.
I know the iOS do not at the moment support all the PWA stuff, but I am convinced that I do not need all the bells and whistles for my app.. But also understand that my app only have limited need for Device access and offline usage,

- Hope that Firebase take care of all the issues with Online and Offline
- Eliminate more platforms to be maintained.
But we will see where the research take us.
Research before convert
I decided to build a small test app that will prove all the needed things for the actual Convert. The project will be a Small Location capture app that allows for capturing photos at locations and get the commented form Google Image recognition. and tag them with geo location. It will also track your route while the app is running.The App should allow for individuals to have their own data without sharing it with other users.
