#2The title should say, mimics native iOS UI in the browser. Nice job though.

#3This is a webview app not a native app.

#4Don't frameworks like this which try and emulate one platform very well get rid of the only advantage of building an app using web technologies, that it's cross platform. Apps using this will feel really out of place on Android and Windows Phone, and you'll end up spending lots of time porting the web app to those platforms if you want to support them properly.

And simultaneously, you loose the main benefit of a native app, which is being able to draw on the work of all the really smart people who work on the native frameworks.
I guess if you're doing something that browser technologies are better suited for than native code, it might be a more pleasant developer experience. It might be fun to build a meteor app with something like this, for example.

#6really cool I think !
Re: Framework 7 – Building native iOS apps in HTML5
#7Yeah, this is shiny and cool. But not native.
Re: Framework 7 – Building native iOS apps in HTML5
#8Very impressive!
One of the best mimics so far. Performance is good and very lightweight.
Might use this for prototyping an app.

There are other advantages of building an app using web technologies. Maybe you want to link to a store that doesn't pay Apple 30%. Maybe you want to control your own updates. Etc.
