Of course. But you can't deny there are classes of problems you completely dodge by using native UI components instead of a web view, especially when it comes to touch events and scroll accelerations.

I'll shut up now and write something up once I deploy an app to multiple platforms ;)

Sorry, didnt mean to be rude, it's easy to get defensive when talking about your work. I would like to read about your progress.

Not rude at all! I was a little aggressive with the app UI quirks I found.

If anything, your app is a great example that most users don't care or notice non native UIs as much as developers do. It shows the viability of using such a framework. So don't let me get you down, I just enjoy breaking software :)
