I think this blog post is a great starting point and exactly what a platform evaluation should be: an "app" that combines HTML Boilerplate, Zepto.js & Twitter Bootstrap to build something that includes some useful user interaction. And it's open source on github. I find a minimal starting like that _more_ useful than something with lots of additional functionality that I then have to remove for my use case. Because it's standard HTML with common frameworks, I then have my pick of docs/examples/tutorials/mailing lists on using those frameworks to build something bigger, rather than being stuck with e.g. only Android resources. I think that's what the author is basing his positive evaluation on; he's got to the point where the Trigger.io technology has disappeared into the background and is just "magic". He recognizes the pros & cons (e.g. needing to be online to deploy), and is excited to use Trigger.io.
