Android and web dev here, how would you compare this to nativescript and such? Instead of learning a new dsl, isn't web to native simpler? Unless you're developing a game I've never found native to be necessary. I'm one of those devs who moved from native to hybrid for faster development speed

[edit] I really like how you're participating in the comments and how you reply. I really hope you do well, you seem like a nice person :-)

Thank you! If you thought these JS based app development was fast, you're in for a real treat! Check out these apps I wrote as exercise: https://github.com/gliechtenstein/botlist.json & https://github.com/gliechtenstein/kitty.json

I built these in around 15 minutes each, and you can too, once you get used to the markup you can too (which also is great since all you need to learn is the consistent JSON syntax which works for actions, view layouts, and styling. There is no real "environment setup" and "becoming a programmer" process that most people need to go through just to get anything running).
