First of all, thanks for this @yesiamhuman, I came across it a few days ago just when I was despairing of finding something with the right look and feel (somebody mentioned it in an earlier HN item about a curated list of CSS frameworks). It looks like it's exactly what I need.

For the project I have in mind, the client wants an HTML5 web app, not an App Store delivered container. On the docs, you state:

"Since mobile browsers often exhibit issues while in browsing mode that don't show while running under a "wrapped" native app, we recommend running all Ionic examples in a Desktop browser, PhoneGap or another native wrapper."

Can you elaborate on this a bit? What issues am I likely to see if I just deliver my project as an offline capable single page web app?

You know, it should actually work fine. We wrote that when we started the project but we've shifted our opinion a bit. One issue is that we have bad support for non-webkit browsers since we've focused on iOS and Android to start. But we'd love some cross-browser testing :)
Great, that's what I was hoping. The client is planning to stick with iOS devices so I may not test much cross-browser, but it's good to know we'll have options. Again, thanks for this and I hope I can find a way to contribute. I'm sure I'll have a few other questions, I just signed up over at your forum.
They're likely referencing mobile Chrome's habit of resizing text in unexpected ways. (You can really see this on HN, sometimes.)
The edge swipe gesture cramps my style in the browser itself.
