Why would someone choose this over something like Ionic or React Native? Yes, it's advertised as a tool for writing 'native' apps, but you the developer are just trading HTML/CSS/JavaScript for some custom-baked JSON-based system. (This reminds me a bit of some of the things people have done with XML to build a scripting languages on top of it...) It advertises direct access to various APIs as a primary selling point, but is this any more direct than what frameworks like Ionic provide? You still have to access it through an intermediate scripting language, just one less pervasive than JavaScript. That being said, it is impressive how little code it takes to build a simple functional app! https://github.com/Jasonette/Twitter-UI-example https://github.com/Jasonette/Twitter-UI-example
