title: Does it make sense to use the Ionic framework even if i don’t need the UI elements?
body: <p>I have a very basic question. Our team wants to create an interactive graphic novel as an app (and as desktop website) for a university main project. So the app is more like a game and will have a custom UI.</p>
  
  <p>We want to go for a hybrid app and thought that ionic would be nice as it looks like an advanced and performant framework.</p>
  
  <p>But, as we don't use the Ionic UI elements (because we have a custom UI), would you consider it an overhead to build with Ionic? Or should we go for Cordova or something else?</p>
  
  <p>Or to put it differently: Is the advantage of using Ionic over e.g. Cordova just the provided UI elements?</p>
  
  <p>Cheers</p>
