Townske looks very polished, thanks for sharing your experience. Would love to hear more about the issues you faced and the pain points.

I especially enjoyed the subtle transitions and animations. I also saw a prompt to update immediately after downloading the app, which was strange. If you're updating the layout and such directly, then that's actually pretty cool. Is that the case?

I especially like that it gave me the option to register later (also the reason why I didn't get past Curbit intro since registration was mandatory). I was able to dive right in.

It sounds like an IP issue waiting to happen if you are admitting here to sharing 80% of the codebase from Townske (employer) into your Curbit (your personal app).

My interpretation was that the iOS and Android versions of Curbit share 80% of code wih each other, not with Townske

Correct, Curbit shares 80% between iOS and Android

Thanks aleem, I wrote up my initial experiences at https://medium.com/@dean_mcpherson/townske-app-in-react-nati... a while ago, some of the points are probably no longer an issue. As per my response above, the update prompt is for http://microsoft.github.io/code-push/.
