I have to ask, why not just do a mobile web app?
- nobody271 8y agoYeah, good question. I agree, lol. In my particular case I do need some C#/Backend functionality that I don't want to have to call a server for.
- gagege 8y agoLet me guess... Some kind of legacy business logic library that nobody in their right mind would want to port to JavaScript? I don't blame you.
- nobody271 8y agoThat sounds like a use case but in reality it wouldn't work anyhow because it probably relies on Windows functionality that hasn't been ported to or doesn't have a one to one mapping with iOS and Android. No, It's a steganography application so I don't want to do any of it in a browser which I imagine could be an attack vector.
- gagege 8y agoYours is a good use case. Doing everything in JS is so common now that I didn't even think about hiding the source code. I haven't considered it as a factor in a long time, but I do remember it being considered somewhat of a disadvantage for Javascript around 2010.
