What is the deal with all these "I made an app using trigger.io" blog posts that seem to have been paid for by trigger.io? I don't think I've seen a mention of trigger.io yet that doesn't grossly misrepresent phonegap as being some difficult, arcane, "only greybeards can use it" monstrosity.

>I decided to go with Trigger.io to achieve my goal, as I wanted to spare myself endless hours spent on configuring environment (as opposed to PhoneGap/Appcelerator)

Huh? Have you tried phonegap? How does "click next on a couple of installers and extract a single zip file" take hours of configuration?

>Trigger.io provides you with a pleasant environment, where you don’t have to touch command line at all! It works as an app within your browser, from localhost. I do understand that a lot of folks may prefer “hacker-style” black terminal over Trigger’s clean and minimalistic web app, but for me clicking a button that i can see instead of typing a command is a much better experience, especially at the beginning.

I can't figure out what on earth he is trying to compare it to here. What html/js mobile app framework involves typing commands in "hacker style black terminals"? With phonegap you just click "run as android application" (or whatever you want to run it as).

This is how hard it actually is to setup phonegap: http://docs.phonegap.com/en/1.8.1/guide_getting-started_andr...
