How we built our app in 2 weeks using Ionic Framework

Interesting,

But i installed the app on my nexus 5 and used it... It feels like i'm opening the browser. The app doesn't feel native. Input elements are weird. The dialog is weird. The animation is sluggish. And the spinner animation is moving in a weird fashion.

For a lot of apps thats allright. But if you want to create a killer app, please go native.

Yupp, it's sluggish but good enough for small time apps. Wait a few years for famo.us and others to work on the problem, and you will see hybrid killer apps.

Yeah, anything HTML5-related and stable is always just a few years away.

Wait for a few years and problem might solve itself. Famo.us has nothing to di with it

I'm curious then, I recently spent quite a while trying to emulate the native feel for an android app, where do you think it falls short?

My Nexus 5 is also sluggish in comparison to my iPhone. From the little research I did it has to do with the default webview used on Android. Hopefully this will also get better in future.

I work at Intel and we have the Crosswalk Project - https://crosswalk-project.org/ Even Google mentions using it for Android 4+ devices.

They could be bundling Crosswalk so any 4.0+ device would run the app in a Chrome 37+ WebView. Much better performance.
