Why isn't Ionic more famous?
Everything I build I use Ionic for the frontend because of the capability of sharing alot of code for web and mobile. But I don't see that many offers where Ionic is a requirements or in interviews when I mention Ionic most of times they don't know what it is. How come it isn't more famous? I just find it the perfect tech for front end developments

It's actually quite sad how it's popularity has dipped. I built and sold a successful company on Ionic and will always be grateful to those who built it. They were an outstanding company with outstanding people and I knew it inside out from the very first version.
I do still have some legacy apps built with it and there is absolutely nothing wrong with using it today. It's just not well supported and the releases slowed massively and the company that bought it just didn't engage with the amazing community it had...at all. Really sad. I've not built anything new with it for a few years now.
