Thanks, I saw it already :) Jed, is on Github the latest version of Touchstone?
It is, and the source for the demo is here: https://github.com/Thinkmill/touchstone-starter
Thanks!

#23Hey Jed, this is really AWESOME and finally shows what is possible with the power of nowadays browser rendering engines paired with a good JS lib (React is my favorite js lib). I like very much the butter smooth transitions on any phone and it's nice that you spent so much attention in getting this thing so responsive, well done man. When will this thing be live, having more documentation and can I play already aroun…
Thanks! We're stoked with the great feedback this is getting.
We will have more docs + examples up in the coming weeks, aside from that we're currently using it in three commercial apps at Thinkmill so what's there is pretty solid.
The projects we're building with it include a Bitcoin wallet (built on BitcoinJS), a cinema voucher scanning app and another I unfortunately can't talk about yet. It's holding up really well across the different use cases and UI designs.

#24Looks awesome, good work! I am using Ionic at the moment to develop a hybrid app and while it's a little more mature and a joy to play with, it doesn't as far as I'm aware have the awesome state change animations this has. Excited for the future of hybrid apps :)
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 built on.
Ionic's heavily invested in Angular, which is great, but we're big fans of React and wanted to create a new mobile framework that builds on that.

#25Amazing and very responsive on both my Nexus 7 and Chrome on the desktop.
My only quibble: "beautiful mobile apps" apparently means "mobile apps that look like iOS 8". I wonder how difficult it would be to adjust the design to better fit in with other OSes.

#26This looks amazing. So will this be able to build native ios, android, and windows apps?

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 them will end up on Android as well, so we'll get to that.
Down the track it will including a theme capability and a more Android-friendly UI style, I'll add something to the roadmap to make this clearer.

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 project if you're interested.
