Titanium says to do the same. Generate native code from HTML5 (http://www.appcelerator.com/platform/titanium-sdk/)

A Titanium app will be compiled into native code whereas a Trigger.io app is actual HTML/JS/CSS living in a native webview* wrapper.

* should feel / behave like your default mobile browser

Titanium is JS but not HTML5, unless you use webviews

I wish Trigger.io would just build on top of Cordova (PhoneGap) so I could re-use all the plugins available in the PhoneGap community.

Instead on the trigger.io home page they link to a year old (now) inaccurate claim about being 5x faster on Android.

The last example on: https://trigger.io/examples/ has a quote from a previous example. Both are from the CTO of Famium.

Just a heads up.

Great progress, Amir. Now, if only more startups adopt your away-trip practice :)

I keep getting confused between this company & get-bridge (deadpool? the site doesnt load)

My initial impression of both these companies was 'vapourware', but if developers are ready to pay Trigger - good for them.

For someone also working in a crowded market, i can empathise with trigger's challenges to cross the chasm. Good luck!
