It seems just a matter of time before APIs for these become part of HTML5.
- trafficlight 15y agoYep. We already have access to GPS location data in HTML5.
- JofArnold 15y agoDepends if, as a dev, you want to keep waiting for them to become implemented. If I were dreaming of AR, for example, I'd still be waiting.
- toddh 15y agoIt's been quite a while. Apple started down that direction, but then the app storm hit and that has been the end of that. And HTML revs much much slower than any phone API, so the native experience will always be superior.
- loire280 15y agoThis is a key advantage of native code, but it is being eroded by the rapid development of WebKit and Gecko. Browser makers are driving the environment faster than we initially expected, with the tradeoff of potential fragmentation.
