This is honestly so pointless and bad for the community, further dividing up mobile technology. Why not just improve on something that already exists like jQM?

"Building native iOS apps in HTML5". You're building them in HTML5, to look like iOS7, not exactly native now is it? This is the same thing as making a theme for jQuery Mobile.

I clicked on this hoping to download something that converts my HTML5 app to native code, but then I clicked this, and immediately had severe performance issues on iOS7, iPhone 5S.

I really hope this does not take off, and if it does, I hope they fix the performance ASAP.

Not even REMOTELY close to native performance, look, or feel.

Did you ever try jQM? My god. I applaud any efforts to move away from it.
JQM is so unbelievably terrible. Been working with it for the past year.
I'm so sorry... I have seriously not often in my 30 years of being a coder seen something so promising turn out so bad. It doesn't even get the 'hello world' right. Why have you been working for it for the past year?
