CssPad - an iPad made with CSS using Quplo
- RexRollman 16y agoI think it would be a little more impressive if the time was correct when viewed. Otherwise, nice job.
- jasonlotito 16y agoAhh, but the time choice is clever.
- Johngibb 16y agoTo save other people a google, that's the time Apple uses for iPhone screenshots in their keynotes that start at 9 am, so that whey they are displayed they have approximately the right time. http://www.pcworld.com/article/193998/iphone_mystery_solved_why_time_stands_still_at_942.html http://www.pcworld.com/article/193998/iphone_mystery_solved_...
- alttab 16y agoIf you can "prototype" an app in HTML/CSS for an iPad it makes me wonder why one would rewrite it in Objective-C in the first place.
- jasonlotito 16y agoThe App Store makes it easy to sell your App. Outside the App Store, you have to rely on your own setup. I'll go as far to say that the majority of apps in the app store could be web apps and work just as well.
- alttab 16y agoThis is what I was alluding to. For the most part, unless it is an OpenGL game then a mobile web app can do most if not all of the same work - and its immediately cross platform. Dropping a browser view into an app and selling it that way even allows you to give 30% of your money to apple if thats what you want.
- raganwald 16y agoOne option is to build your app in HTML/CSS/JS and then bundle it inside of PhoneGap so you can sell it on the App Store. That way you don't have to rewrite it in Objective C, you can demonstrate it on the web as part of your sales process, and if you ever decide to give it away you can revert to a web-only model. As a bonus, you may find porting it to other mobile web platforms is less work than porting an Objective C application.
- jiaaro 16y agoHow does it handle absolute positioning? scrolling? Firebug to the rescue: - absolute positioning works great - content overflows (so it still needs some scrolling solution)
- moron4hire 16y ago"as HTML and CSS are an ideal and flexible way to prototype" They are a way to prototype. And sure, they may be more flexible than writing Objective-C. But they are far from ideal or even reasonably flexible.
- pornel 16y agoApple's SDK comes with iPhone Simulator.app that — despite the name — is also a full iPad simulator with Mobile Safari. Besides, "You can make CSS images with rounded corners!" is getting old. Author even failed to put standard properties that would make it work in Opera and IE9.
- catshirt 16y agono harm intended, but this is really just 3 well used css3 properties (ok, so one's a function)
