A pragmatic approach to WebViews: fast-tracking features in mobile apps

WebViews have been around for ages—but when used strategically, they can solve real-world delivery challenges for modern product teams.

In this lightning talk, I’ll walk you through a pragmatic approach to integrating WebViews in native mobile apps to accelerate feature development without sacrificing user experience.

We’ll explore:
- When WebViews make sense (and when they don’t)
- How to create seamless, native-like experiences inside a WebView
- Best practices for web <-> native app communication
- Real-world lessons from production: authentication, consent handling, navigation, and tracking

This talk is ideal for mobile and frontend engineers who want a lightweight, low-risk way to scale feature delivery across platforms—without rearchitecting their entire tech stack.
