Organization accounts are coming soon:

  Currently, private packages are only available for individual users, but support for organization accounts is coming soon. Feel free to create a user for your organization in the meantime, and we can upgrade it to an organization when support is here.

https://www.npmjs.com/private-modules#organizations

That's a very good point!

I hadn't thought of it from the point of encouraging/incentivizing the authoring of more public packages.

But couldn't the current model then discourage the authoring of public packages, and lead people to start primarily publishing private packages.

I assume whatever reason people are authoring public packages today won't change because they get a paid account. Let's at least hope that's the case.

Everything looks pretty awesome, except the payment model.

I'm a little surprised they didn't go with a model similar to GitHub: - Payment plans with X number of private modules, or $1/month per private module - Unlimited paying/non-paying collaborators for private modules (perhaps only read access for non-paying)

With npm's model all my collaborators will have to pay for npm private modules as well.

Services like $timeout and $interval are basically just thin wrappers around their vanilla JS relatives(setTimeout and setInterval), there are more examples like this.

The APIs look identical, some with a little added functionality - but the primary reason for the AngularJS wrappers is that they'll automatically call $scope.$apply() for you, so that you don't have to do it yourself.

> ReactNative is like Titanium/Alloy. It uses native components to render views, not the DOM. So it has nothing to do with Phonegap except for the use of javascript.

I believe the original poster was referring to the fact that Cordova's whole purpose is to be a testing ground for new browser APIs - and that the goal of the project is to basically become irrelevant at a later point because browser vendors hopefully will have implemented similar APIs.

Sort of like a testing ground for web standards.

But yes, in a technical sense React Native is closer akin to Titanium than Cordova/PhoneGap in its current state.

Correct, the main differentiator would be the notifications and the additional styling on top of the web view.

Goofy was created before messenger.com and had a bit of extra styling afaik.

I've been using Goofy for a couple of months: http://www.goofyapp.com/

This project looks super nice, but native notifications would be nice.

> they are not going to spend anything on an unproven idea Exactly!

It's even in their mission statement: > Rocket identifies and builds proven Internet business models and transfers them to new, underserved or untapped markets where it seeks to scale them into market leading online companies.
