If there is one area that I've never been able to understand about Web Developers is the endless pursuit of making web "win" over native, you allude to it with your comment "That's why native is kicking mobile web's ass". Who cares? use the correct tool for the job, you don't see websites modern being written in Objective C and I can't remember meeting a mobile developer who was preoccupied with beating "web" tech.
/me - Runs and ducks as all the WebDevs throw fireballs my way.
- peterhunt 13y agoWell I think that incremental delivery of applications, crawlability, URL bookmarkability and being able to push live updates are valuable features the Web has already solved. In general iteration speed in dev is better too (usually lower compilation times)
- pedalpete 13y agoDon't forget the cost of managing multiple platforms and not having to have multiple dev teams. On the teams I've worked with that has been the reason for going with html5 apps. How many businesses want to build the same product 3 times (at least) for different customers and will they be able to get it all implemented at the same time, or try to manage the differences when they are all communicating with the same backend service? It's just a non-starter for most start-ups or non-technology focused businesses.
- ThomPete 13y agoThat depends on the "complexity" of their product. For some viable is creating it in three different format.
