Did you mean everyone or US-everyone? There's a subtle difference there. Most comments here are so US-specific.

Re:Ask HN: What framework for mobile webapp? on Thursday March 19, 2015 @02:02PM (#9233567)

I have some experience writing software, so I don't have a problem learning something new quite fast. If no documentation I read the code, that's no the problem.

Polymer looks good, but I'm not sure yet. I haven't seen nothing serious done with it.

Re:Ask HN: What framework for mobile webapp? on Thursday March 19, 2015 @01:57PM (#9233538)

Anyone have done something on Riot.js? Is it performant on mobile?

Re:Ask HN: What framework for mobile webapp? on Thursday March 19, 2015 @01:54PM (#9233522)

Yes, I've built an SPA using backbone + marionette before, but on top of that I needed something for UI, at the time I used JQMobile (huge mistake).

I really would like to avoid JQuery, and any other "big" framework like Angular. React, only gives me a render engine, so I need third party libraries for everything else, so, not an option.

I'm just interest in the frontend, I have clear the backend part.

Ask HN: What framework for mobile webapp?

Posted by hectorxp on Thursday March 19, 2015 @01:13PM
from the ask-hn dept.

I'm about to create a simple webapp, probably SPA. I need fast loading pages, minimalist design, a nice router, smooth page transitions. In general terms I know the good and bad parts of all frameworks bellow and still I'm not convinced about what to use.CSS Frameworks (Bootstrap, Foundation, Materialize, etc), other frameworks (Angular, React, Backbone, Ember, Polymer)Can you help me decide?
