Have you taken a look at Facebook's new framework, React Native?

Just to be clear (for you or anyone else), React Native is nothing like Cordova or Phonegap - Using Javascript, you instruct React Native to draw native components (UINavigationBar, UIButton etc) with native interactions.

The end user is not touching HTML and CSS. They touch native components with native performance.

Thanks, I've been using it for two months - I know how it works.
