Well put. I would say that things have changed since even an year ago. Nowadays, if you are building a MVP and plan on a closed beta launch - expect moaning & groaning about your unpolished UI. People just expect well-designed experiences from day 1.

Looks like a great service.

Q - I couldn't find any docs on site to get started with an iOS app. All I could find is Chrome & Android tutorials.

Just discovered Trigger.io - a YC backed startup which is a new service to deploy your HTML5 apps across multiple platforms. I just signed up and am checking it out & am trying to figure out how it compares to PhoneGap. Besides the obvious difference of free vs. monthly service charges.

Happy that you mentioned this. I recently got downvoted 3 times cause I wanted to express public support verbally as well.

Like Sarah (and the 'valley way') or not, she's really good at what she does - well written long-form pieces with some sort of historical perspective. She's been around the block a few times and whether you agree with her or not, she almost always makes a compelling case for her point of view.

I know that it's kinda common on here to be negative first, but I am glad that somebody like her is throwing their hat in the ring for 'my' attention. Short, sensationalist pieces are great for quick reading, but I welcome an experienced journalist's pen for what I love - startups.

Let the flaming begin.

I agree with loceng. Nested comments are really valuable with any sort of active conversation. If you are only thinking of 2 people in a conversation as your test case, then it's fine as it is.

Btw, really good work with Juvia so far. Been going through your github source and might even play with it next weekend.

How was your experience all-in-all?

Agreed

Great work! A HTML version would be amazing too.

So true! Their 'pivot' went under-the-radar for most. They really just went from a 'Private Photo Silo' in 1.0 to 'My Digital Journal' in 2.0.

I actually agree with you, once you bothered explaining.

Love the auto-complete! Keep up the great work.

I have been struggling to stay from TextMate and move to Sublime. The Soda Theme + auto-completion makes it a tad easier. Thanks!

Ah ok. Let the hate continue.

I love these people who are voting me down cause I am giving positive feedback on HN. LOL!

+1

@ishanagr - good job getting this out of the door. drop me a line if you want some help porting this to mobile & native apps. free of course, india needs random experiments like this for now.

Without getting into the technicalities of this, I am grateful somebody came up with this. I am working on a backbone + jq + mongo app right now & this might have been useful, at least in the early days.

lol i got downvoted cause i gave props?! :)

A good round up of design resources.

well put!

True!

Would love to see a HTML/CSS version of this.

jQuery Mobile is certainly one the most (if not The most) optimized platform to build on right now. It offers 'depth' & 'breadth' in almost all the core areas one might expect. I have been building on it since it was in Alpha and have personally experienced the team roll out fixes upon fixes, which leave the competition in the dust.

Kudos!

Looks like a winner to me.
