Comment #10108858
Elemental UI is a competitor, sort of, I guess. But it's not a zero-sum game, and we've learned (and borrowed) a lot from Bootstrap. More specifically, we're not porting Bootstrap …

Thanks! We're porting their grid system manually at the moment, the foundations don't really change much and we're quite selective about what's being ported. We're actually experim…

I'm not familiar with the benefits of HostGator but how is this better than spinning up a free Heroku dyno to serve your node.js app? That's also a very effective solution for low-…

Yes - we've already got it working with iOS and android using Cordova, Windows should be straight-forward as well. There's a Cordova project that builds for iOS in the sample proje…

We won't be limiting the look to iOS 8, we just started there because it's the platform we're developing some commercial apps for using TouchstoneJS at the moment. At least two of …

Cheers! We're fans of Ionic ourselves (and use their excellent icon library) I think the biggest differentiating factor between it and TouchstoneJS will be the platforms they're bu…

You need a lot more control over how the views transition, pass state, etc. in order to create a native-feeling app. The paradigm of links and parameters falls short, and eventuall…

Comment #8734110
The app framework is structured as a React mixin, everything else (lists, form controls, etc) is just React Components you can drop into your app. So for the most part how you stru…

Thanks! we're putting a lot of detail into the animations to make it feel as native as possible. The touch events too - you'll notice that if you touch a link, and move too far awa…
