Hi, Slava, I was a web developer and now I am a mobile developer. Nobody is developing web applications anymore (at least in developing countries). We are all mobile first. How does android or ios developers take advantage of Horizon ? Can you give a few examples? How does horizon make mobile (native) developers life easier ? web development is slowing down and mobile development is on the rise. Mobile developers don't want to deal with backend development. But it seems like web development is your main focus and mobile is a second thought. Please make it the focus of your work. Meteor is useless to us because it is optimized for web client. I hope Horizon won't fall for this trap. Your bigger audience and potential users are android or IOS developers. Please optimize for them and provide lots of examples to show them how their life can be easier. Thanks.

I'm from a developing country too and that is such an exaggeration. Maybe your career has been focused on mobile, but no way there's overall more native development than web.

So what does your dumb mobile client connect to? If it's any good, probably a web backend.

Web developer here. Some of the most complicated application are being built for web vs mobile. Within the enterprise web applications, I fail to see how mobile is anywhere near web's presence especially for data intensive apps.

In the FAQ page http://horizon.io/faq/ http://horizon.io/faq/ Can I use Horizon on mobile devices? Horizon ships with a JavaScript client library that can be used for building web and mobile apps with frameworks like React, Angular, or React Native. We’re also working on specific platform client libraries that support the Horizon protocol. Client libraries for iOS and Android are coming soon.
