I tried Backslide for a recent presentation, but I'm not sure I can recommend it. Exporting things properly turned out to be quite hard.

Ah yeah. That makes sense. I primarily wear contacts, so I haven't really had a problem with durability. The buying experience and cost were more important to me.

In addition to Nativescript (from Telerik, although the Vue bindings are community-sourced), there's also weex[1], which is backed by Alibaba. Downside is that a lot of the docs are in chinese. While NS is fairly mature at this point,
