Hi, I'm Remi from Fusetools. This interview with our CEO Anders does a good job of summarizing what we're about: https://www.forbes.com/sites/julianmitchell/2017/06/29/this-...

There's a "welcome ad" redirection on forbes website preventing me from reading any articles there. Maybe choose a better place to host content you want to link to. Is it really crossplatform when according to your website it only supports the two majors compuphones makers ? Seems to me it's more marketing than anything else.

Just gotta wait 3 seconds, man. The welcome overlay on Forbes will let you click through if you wait 3 seconds.

So much hate in your comment. Why are you so quick to be dismissive and rude?

I for one think it's fair to claim they are cross platform if they work with 97.12% of the mobile market share [1].

Scrolled down to the first code sample and had terrifying flashbacks to ColdFusion.

So, how many multiplatform releases do you have under your belt romanovcode?

> When did we decide that developer time was more precious than user experience anyway? I think people really over exaggerate native UI experiences... maybe a native experience is 10 out of 10 good and a non-native experience is something like 7 out of 10 good but it's not as bad as 1 out of 10 good. I'm sure there's lots of occasions where users will be happy with a non-native app rather than not having one at all b…

> and a non-native experience is something like 7 out of 10 good but it's not as bad as 1 out of 10 good The problem is that when a native app falls short, it stays with the conventions of the platform. When a non-native app falls short, it'll stay with the convention of the framework and likely be confusing or broke for the user. As an example Adobe Flash was really popular for 10+ years. On all platforms it broke c…

To reach a larger audience with less dev time/fewer devs?

As a user, if good native is 10/10 non-native is at best 5/10. Usually though a native app isn't good so it's only 6-7/10. Non-native though are usually in the 2-4 range... That Spotify, Whatsapp and Slack don't have native apps is a disgrace beyond comprehension. Those are probably the easiest type of apps anyone can come up with.

> That Spotify, Whatsapp and Slack don't have native apps a disgrace beyond comprehension

Pretty easy to comprehend why you wouldn't burn more developer resources than necessary actually.

Try to set aside your own dev bias towards 'non-native' and consider what the average users of those apps think. They don't care the apps are non-native, they don't even know what that means.

> the Mac Spotify client regularly sticks for at least 30 seconds on the Browse screen, or if I try to search for an item. Works great for me. I could understand not liking it if it did that on my machine though.

I wonder if it's struggling with the size of some of my playlists. I've got a 70 hour coding music playlist, that's the only thing I can think would slow it down during startup. My machine has 16GB RAM. Helpful to know I might be an isolated case, though.

Hmm, 70H and downloaded? Because I have a 63H playlist in my 'Playlists' that I didn't make but have, and I have no lag like you describe on my Windows 10 machine.

"preventing me from reading any articles there" sounds more like someone with no success regardless of waiting; I would be completely unsurprised if their waiting screen broke sometimes.

GP raised multiple apparently valid objections. This is neither hateful nor rude, and your efforts would be better spent on answering issues than name-calling.
