This is a great article, and all the mobile web performance tips are spot on. But please, don't take this advice and use it to try to make your mobile web app try to be like a native app. Don't emulate android or iOS elements in HTML. emulate native performance, not native UI. there's no easier way to make your app feel wrong. You'll never be able to perfectly emulate a native android or iOS control using html and js, so stop trying. build your own UI that isn't trying to be something its not, so that your users can't tell when you miss.
- kpeatt 13y agoThanks for the read, notatoad. You make a great point. This article isn't about looking native — it's about feeling native. The best part about the web is that it's platform agnostic. Most of the gestures and actions that feel natural to us are cross-platform so it's great that we can rely on those to get us where we need to go.
