Thanks, can you tell me a specific use case example you think would be hard to implement this way? Hopefully I already have implemented it.

It's completely native and does not even touch any webview. Here's a related answer I posted elsewhere on this thread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11888516

Maybe you guys should check out Jason www.jsonclient.org which I posted yesterday :)

by gliechtenstein 10y ago
You're right, to be clear, in case of Jason it's not even "downloading code" because all the native code is already there on the app itself. Instead what gets downloaded is a flat JSON text, which then gets interpreted i

Each page is sandboxed and it displays an intro page describing which device features the next page will access when you run it for the first time (or when there's a code change even if you had it favorited earlier). Also you can look

It doesn't compile or build and there's no deployment because it loads like a web browser and renders the app instantly. It's not javascript. Finally it's not even based on webkit. It's all based on UIStackViews&#x2

Thanks for pointing out. The naming was intentional, but yes you're right it can be confusing sometimes. But I really like the name as it personifies the term. I'll think about it if this becomes a serious problem

Wouldn't you still need a web server? Assuming we still need some sort of web app running on a web server, I think you can expose any DB action you want as an API endpoint and hit it using http://www.jasonclient.org/doc

Wow i haven't used couchdb before but that sounds really cool. By the way Jason has a way to dynamically run actions on the frontend side (for example to change colors http://www.jasonbase.com/things/xLZ/edit

Can you elaborate on what you mean by master-master replication between users? As for open source it's not open source at the moment but it's one of the options I'm considering. I just wanted to get it in front of more people

I just commented below to another question that may answer your question https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11884901 I think HTML/JS/CSS have become too powerful which is a good thing, at least on desktops. But

1. It's native. Doesn't matter how you package a website, it still uses an HTML/JS/CSS engine to let you interact with it. Jason lets you effectively build a native app without actually building an app. The JSON markup i

Thanks! Can you share why you think it may not be for regular native-app building? Would love to hear your experience, would be extremely helpful for making decisions.

Great to hear! I honestly wanted to get the first version out there as soon as possible because you never know if people would want something like this, I know now!

Haha this is cool, do you have a module that actually brews coffee or tea?

I've started out with iOS as a minimum viable product but my goal is to expand to all kinds of other platforms, and android is of course the top priority, I made all design decisions assuming that I will build an android version. If yo

Hi HN, I've worked on several apps in the past couple of years, and found that it takes too much effort going from having an idea to building an app and having the world use it. Also most cool ideas will never turn into an app because

Sorry I just saw this because for some reason this post got dropped off from the listing, I heard that I get penalized for not directly linking on a show HN post. I'm thinking about reposting tomorrow since only few people seem to have

My top priority is to make this as extensible as possible, open sourcing is one option I'm considering but it comes with lots of challenges including security issues. I'm still exploring different options, would love to chat, plea

I'm a huge fan of hjson. I agree it's pain in the ass to write JSON, especially the need to double quote everything. My goal was to release this asap and get actual feedback and work on things people want first. To answer your que

I've faced lots of challenges in terms of expressive power while working on Jason, but think I've figured out a lot of them. Could you share some of the challenges you faced? It would help a lot. Thanks!

Yes, to be precise it's HTML+JS+CSS reinvented. I took lots of inspiration from existing browser standards while developing Jason. But to be clear, it's NOT one of those html5 hybrid app builders. Jason is a scripting language tha

Hi, the creator here, If you look at how layout is implemented, it's very similar to android linear layout and its intentional. I do have plans for android version :)

Hi I'm the creator of Jason, I was going to wait a bit before I feel ready enough for Show HN but I guess someone already posted :) Jason came out of my personal frustration with building apps. I think it takes too much time and effort
