NativePHP
Holding the snark aside for second, I think there is some harsh truth here.
Url query params are not popular in the front end developer world for some reason, probably bc the fundamentals of web dev are often skipped in favor of learning leetcode and all the react hooks. Same could be sade for SQL and CSS.
I also don't think its a good look that the author is a CTO and is just discovering how useful url query params are. that being said, its a pretty good and well-written blog post.
No snark. Genuinely happy. This is progress

NativePHP & Bifrost
A two-man team, we're enabling PHP developers to get into mobile app development as easily as possible - no need to learn new languages, no new skills, just a few commands and away you go.
NativePHP is the library. Bifrost is the build and release service, getting apps into the stores faster than anything else.
This month we're planning to release the first fully open source version of the Mobile package.
How's it going?
We've sold over 2,000 licenses since May. We built Bifrost over the summer and it already has almost 300 monthly subscribers.
We just gave away another 1,000 licenses to the African PHP community.
