We're in the same boat. One of our main driving factors is that in the issue tracker we're building [0], we use an editor (SlateJS) that has its own format for how documents are represented, and our issues are pretty rich and complex. To try and reproduce an editor that adhered to the same schema across multiple platforms is simply more work than we can take on as a small startup.

We will of course ship native iOS/Androids apps at some point and then there will come a reckoning. Some sort of a hybrid solution is an option of course (make the bulk of the app native and have a small webview for the editor).

Looks awesome. Jira's shit performance is a real killer.

Thanks! We fully agree. For us, with whatever features we decide to add, keeping it as snappy as possible and keeping it possible to do literally everything with the keyboard is a must.

We do every once in a while end up with really embarrassing bugs though since we rarely touch the mouse ourselves.
