From Website to Mobile App
Most teams build a great website first. It’s where discovery happens. But if you stop there, you’re leaving engagement, retention, and conversions on the table.
In 2025, turning your website into a mobile app isn’t a “nice to have” it’s a growth unlock.
The real question is - which path gets you there the right way?
Today, there are three clear approaches, each with its own strengths:
1. App Wrapping: the fastest shortcut
If you want to publish an app immediately, app wrapping puts your website inside a native shell.
It’s fast, cheap, and zero-maintenance. Perfect for testing mobile demand.
But it still feels like a website, limited offline support, limited native features, and is not ideal for long-term experience.
2. AI App Generation: fast, visual, design-driven
AI tools like Lovable.dev and Rocket.io can take your Figma designs and generate working app layouts in hours.
It’s a massive time-saver for MVPs.
But AI isn’t magic, it works only if your design system is clean. It automates UI, not product thinking or deep logic.
3. Builders: for apps that grow with your business
Builders like FlutterFlow and Digia are built for teams that want speed and control.
You can visually build screens, connect APIs, iterate faster, and still keep real engineering depth.
Digia goes a step further with Server-Driven UI (SDUI), letting you update your app’s experience instantly without redeploying.
The pattern is simple:
Want instant presence? → App Wrapping
Want a quick MVP? → AI
Want something scalable, configurable, and future-proof? → Builders
Your website gives you traffic.
Your app turns that traffic into retention, engagement, and recurring behaviour.

What’s new in Digia?
Paginated ListView
This week, we shipped a new addition to Digia’s widget list: Paginated ListView, a smarter way to handle long, scroll-heavy screens. Instead of loading an entire dataset upfront, the list now fetches content page by page, keeping your UI responsive even when dealing with thousands of items.
This makes it easier to build catalog pages, activity feeds, dashboards, or anything that grows over time without compromising performance. And because it integrates directly with SDUI, you can adjust the page size, data source, or loading behaviour instantly from the server, no rebuild required.
