This is some impressive work, but at the end of the day it's just another unecessary attempt to reinvent the wheel, a wheel that will always lag behind the original. The time he spent reverse engineering UITableView could have been spent doing useful things with actual UITableViews.

Web apps are hacks.

That is incredibly short sighted. The web is universal, iOS is not.

[jordanekay]

Is it not?

Please, tell me where to find these mobile web apps that are superior to their native iOS counterparts.

while i agree that there are ways in which native user interface controls are currently more compelling than their web alternatives, shouldn't we all be diligent in hoping for and working towards the end of that situation? it might not be as impossible as it once seemed, they're doing angry birds in a browser now!

either way i can't imagine that an iOS monoculture in high-end mobile applications really serves anyone but apple in the long run. i think there's a general consensus that it didn't work out that well with windows, and there's arguably a lot more at stake this time.
