I think it's time to build my first app. This has to be the least intimidating frameworks I've seen. Can't wait to see how fast it is to use!
I am all for publicizing/celebrating loudly products built by startups. But please edit for full disclosure to facilitate better discussions (if you are N.M. from Appgyver).
Like Lollipop never happened.
Frameworks upon frameworks upon frameworks, running in a platform-dependent embedded mobile browser, wrapped together with AppGyver-specific API thunks for accessing some native functionality in a non-standard way. There's tremendous impedance mismatch at every layer here. I don't feel these deeply convoluted stacks are ever the right way to build a mobile app... Unless perhaps in the situation where you're already f…
I agree with the second paragraph. It seems that we're constantly pushing to make developing mobile apps easier for people with a web front-end background, in doing so tying them into using a stack of frameworks that in my opinion is far enough removed from 'web' that it loses sight of the core advantage - that it is easier to learn and develop with than the 'native' alternatives. I wonder if by the time you get to t…
A stack like this though may not be the best approach to maintain as the user base and dev team size grows, but it will get you off the ground with limited resources and time.

Also, cocoa touch is nicer than any web framework you've ever used.

I thought the same, and made a Cordova/Angular app. It was a mistake. Don't go there! It's easier to learn the native languages/sdk than to debug that mess. Also, cocoa touch is nicer than any web framework you've ever used.
How can native development be easier, when I'm already familiar with web development in HTML, CSS, JS/AngularJS? What did you miss when debugging?
If you're only targeting one platform, the time spent to learn developing for it may be justified. But I don't see why you should not use tools like Ionic or Supersonic when building data driven apps for multiple platforms.
I don't understand. I thought Ionic was AngularJS + Cordova so how can it be "Ionic + AngularJS + Cordova"? What is this exactly?

Have you ever actually watched an episode of MacGyver? I feel like if you have, this "AppGyver" project sounds like it has just about the right amount of duct tape. http://macgyver.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_problems_solved_by_Ma...
