> - We built Penny as a web app (Cordova). It pretty much guarantees that we don’t get featured by Apple or Google, but it allows us to iterate really, really quickly. All users always have the latest version, and we can update the app in two minutes flat. We think the tradeoff is worth it.

Ah, yes, the reason why we designed the web the way it is. I really think this subject isn't tackled enough. Apple, and to a lesser extent google have ruined all the progress we made around continuous application updates through their stupid App paradigm. It boggles my mind that everyone is OK with it, when it's obviously terrible for the end user, compared to the web model where a URL just points to a resource, and you have full publishing power over that resource.
