Hi I'm the creator of Jason, I was going to wait a bit before I feel ready enough for Show HN but I guess someone already posted :)
Jason came out of my personal frustration with building apps. I think it takes too much time and effort going from an idea to an actual functional app, even if you're an experienced developer.
I really think you should be able to just whip up some script and have it running in 5 minutes, as quick and easy as writing a blog post.
As an example here are two hacker news clients I just wrote up in 2 minutes:
ShowHN app: http://www.jasonclient.org/gallery/show/index.html?id=http://www.jasonclient.org/things/115.json http://www.jasonclient.org/gallery/show/index.html?id=http:/...
HN firehose client: http://www.jasonclient.org/gallery/show/index.html?id=http://www.jasonclient.org/things/127.json http://www.jasonclient.org/gallery/show/index.html?id=http:/...
Jason is completely native. It's not one of those html5 hybrid app builders. The JSON script you write is used to directly manipulate these native elements and also can even invoke native device functions such as camera, geolocation, audio/video playback, etc.
Please ask any questions, I'm here.
