Thanks for the kind words ;)

I said it in my post and I repeat it here: I truly love and believe in web technologies! I'm just saying they're still far behind native frameworks and that it's very hard (if not impossible) to reach the smoothness of native apps today, especially on mobile.

It's definitely possible to reach something "good enough" pretty quickly (made http://dribbble.deaxon.com in a few hours, check it on your iPhone) but I want people to be pragmatic and stop saying you can build the exact same apps with both technologies, because that's simply not true today.

That's it! ;)



I definitely agree with you. While there is a bright future ahead for mobile/web-based apps, they're not quite at the same level as native apps.

Also, that Dribbble app is great. Nice work.
