Thanks for the interesting postmortem. I've been thinking along the same lines recently - HTML5 + app packager for teams with limited development resources, multiple parallel native apps for teams that handle it. Or native if you have some specific requirement that can only be met by native.
Fwiw, the Flat/Tiled/Metro design motiff seems to taking off enough that it's a satisfactory cross-device substitute for native.
Summly used it too; as such, yours doesn't look significantly different theirs, other than their use of transparency in places.
Maybe it was their mention of their use of genetic algorithms in their well-done launch video [1], and having a 15yr old founder, that did it for them. Of the Three T's they nailed two - team and technology. Attention, interest, and Traction were sure to follow.
