As an iOS developer I can tell you that programming the native app does not take that much time either.
The complicated part was, I think, to come up with the concept. Clear is having all this success not because is a complicated app full of features, but because it's simple and with interesting concepts that nobody used yet. The app itself is pretty simple to code.

- foobarbazetc 15y agoClear would have taken at most 1 week (if that) to code up. It's basically demo-ware.
- tolmasky 15y agoThe HTML5 app is also incomplete and very buggy. I think it's not surprising that the more complex gestures are missing (such as pinch for new item). Additionally it took me about 1 minute to get it into a weird broken state (permanently pulled down). Not saying all this can't be fixed, just saying that assuming 1 week development time and calling it demoware may be more than a little unfair. I seem ro hear that a lot about things and then the only proof you end up seeing is some 80% mockup (billed as a complete reimplenetation) that leaves a lot to be desired.
