What is the easy and simple way to create mobile app(ios/android) for jekyll hosted on github/gitlab other than webview?

Since a Jekyll site is a website, I would imagine that a webview would be the only way to create a mobile app without developing a full-fledged mobile app.

I also don’t know that a Jekyll site would fit into being made a mobile app, since there isn’t, by design, a dynamic backend or anything that users could use to update data in real time.

@mattr Thanks for responding. Web view will sometimes not get approval in playstore.

[Trusted Web Activities](https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2019/02/using-twa) are a better alternative to webview for Android and should work fine with a Jekyll PWA.

@floogulinc thanks for pointing to this direction, what are the advantages of TWA over Webview in the case of Jekyll?
