A comment on App.js: Mobile webapps made easy.

I would be a bigger fan if there were some included phonegap utilities & tutorials.

Famo.us is making the same mistake for some reason. Aggressively targeting mobile, with half of the toolchain missing to actually shipping mobile apps.

Not that I can blame the OP, who is likely not a SF startup with millions in funding.

Like the others said, this is written by Kik Interactive (http://kik.com/) which is well-funded.

The idea is that Kik's browser has the PhoneGap-like utilities that you described built-in, while this is a library for building the UI of an application. http://dev.kik.com/

It's actually a Canadian startup with millions in funding, but this is not their product. It's the Kik messenger, which has a built-in browser. They provide this library to make making apps for their messenger easier.
