"The company embedded an extremely lightweight HTTP server in the application itself. The HTTP server exposes native functionality through a very simple REST API that can be consumed in the embedded HTML controls through standard JavaScript HTTP requests"

As someone who has built a bridge between the WebView and iOS, why would you not use the native app url scheme (ex. linkedin:///goTo?storyId=1) and listen for them within the app? Even a lightweight HTTP server seems like serious overkill for this.

You'd probably have a better framerate if you used translate or translate3d instead of a simple transition. Framerate is fine in Chrome but isn't fantastic on iPhone/iPad

I actually built something similar to this for where I work. We just recently open sourced it: http://jetsetter.github.com/MobileSafariQuickTap/

Yeah sorry about that, I didn't think that through. Ill go ahead and include a screenshot for now. In the future we'll suppress that login popup for people coming from GitHub/Hacker News/Reddit, so you can get a feel for it without signing up.

Show HN: PathScrollbarMenu - A Javascript, Path inspired scrollbar menu

from the show-hn dept.

Hey HN!This is PathScrollbarMenu, a javascript implementation of the neat little scrollbar indicator that you can see on Path's mobile apps. It allows the developer to center any content on the scrollbars of a site.We implemented it at Jetsetter so we could allow users to jump between sections, but still give them the largest content area possible.GitHub:...
