This is why I loved developing for Firefox OS. Their simulator is really just Gecko inside a smaller window and with simulated touch events. You could do some amazing things, such as live-inspect DOM on a connected device and treat it as if it were a local webpage. And now the WebIDE built into Firefox seems to be even more pleasant. I even used to sometimes test the app in my Firefox browser, without bothering to connect a device or fire up the simulator. It was super-speedy.
I'm so sad Firefox OS is probably never going to properly take off. I use Android and like it very much, but development for it is a literal nightmare.
- q_revert 12y agoAnother vote for firefox OS here, I definitely think they're making a better effort than most in this space. The fact that firefox is targeting entry level devices in a serious way is another positive for me. I've been using a ZTE open as my primary device, and although the hardware is absolutely awful, I've managed to get by, mostly just because of a sentimental attachment to firefox. I agree it's somewhat unlikely to be too successful, but I definitely think they're at least aiming in the right direction.
