Ask HN: What Windows 8 Metro apps are you working on?
I'm working on a HN viewer right now, using Javascript. I would love to know what apps are others working on.
Why not just make it available to everyone via the web, instead of making an OS-specific version for a subset of your biggest possible audience?
1) Native apps are more responsive than generic web apps(?)
2) Distribution is easier/monetizable
3) You get OS-specific interface elements for free
4) In this specific case, there is no other way to run HTML5 apps in the Metro UI on Windows RT (Win8 for ARM)
