Is Wave suitable for a mobile-first SaaS?

Hello,

I'm new to Wave but have some prior PHP experience.

Based on the Wave docs, it's possible to access my backend using the built in API, however, I feel like I am losing out on a lot of the benefits of Wave by using it to primarily serve a mobile app. I was mainly drawn to Wave because of all the pre-built features, but they seem tailored to the web side. My app will of course include a web version, so I wanted to take care of 2 things at once by using Wave.

How much trouble am I making for myself by going down this path? Should I consider another approach?

Hi there,

That is a good quesiton, I've personally not built many mobile apps, but I think that this should not be a problem, you can use Wave just as any other RESTful JSON API based on Laravel to serve you mobile application. There isn't anything fundamentally different in Wave from any other MVC application.
