- alexobenauer 14y agoIt's a hybrid app, views written in HTML5 & CSS3, and wrapped on the device. Navigation is native. (Source: the post)

Reading the post, it seems they thought HTML5 was the "way to go" because they had more experience with the technology, not for any particular technological reasons.

- kaolinite 14y agoChances are that in a year or so, they'll release a completely native app. That seems to be the trend now - go HTML5 initially to get an app out fast, then create a native app later.
- jzimdars 14y agoAll of the content screens in the app are still HTML5. Because of that direction, we now have a native experience on iOS AND a solid mobile experience in the browser. HTML5 still offers the greatest reach, a superior layout model and the fastest development. It's a myth that web views are inherently a poor experience.
