Is it just me or did anyone else stop immediatly at this sentence on the get started page? "Create a free AppGyver account" Ionic didn't need me to create an account and everything you list in this news title i can use without an account. Ionic also begins their getting started with "Install Ionic" so the fork part was even more misleading. I immediately got disapointed. I don't know but every time i run into an "acc…

Just give us a fake email then until you trust us :) We're hackers ourselves: I never give out my real email until I know something is good. We just want to get to know our users + get you started right away with everything we have to offer that requires an account, like cloud distribution with QR codes (see that in action here (no account needed): http://www.appgyver.com/supersonic/kitchensink ) - Matti, CTO of AppG…

Hey Matti, great job. Marry Supersonic to Strongloop's Loopback and you're the winner...

What IDE do you use for developing on that platform? Just any HTML editor, like Aptana or NetBeans? Or is there something dedicated like Xamarin Studio? Is this CLI they provide integrated with anything out of the box? I couldn't find that info in tutorials

I've been reading all the info and docs (shameless Ionic docs clone xD) in the AppGyver website and I quite like it. I'm almost sold for some apps we have in the pipeline (we were going to use Ionic/Cordova)...

The tooling is awesome... Thing is I don't like the fact that the prototypes can't be shown online in a whitelabel fashion. I don't want my clients to know which frameworks I'm using...

Any plans to offer a solution without AppGyver's logos all over the place? I guess I could just use iOS Testflight as an alternative for testing...

AppGyver employee here! The QR code sharing is just icing on the cake (tasty icing, but yeah) – the basic functionality of creating a stand-alone IPA/APK and sharing it via TestFlight or TestFairy is still there, just as strong as it is with Cordova/Ionic.

Good point about a whitelabel scanner, though – we'll consider options to make the flow of sharing a prototype/development version even better.

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 normally disagree with the excessive snark here but OP is right here.

Things are getting ridiculously complicated.

"FUTURE-PROOFED FOR IOS & ANDROID When you use Supersonic, you can be sure you are using the most up-to-date visual and functional paradigms of both platforms. That means iOS8 and Android KitKat today, and future-proofed for the next generations." Like Lollipop never happened.

Fixed now, thanks for catching it!

Just your basic IDE. I use Visual Studio and a command line (npm, grunt, bower, ...)

AppGyver employee here – any text editor works. We like Atom ourselves. (There's no direct integration with any IDE tool at the moment.)
