So how does the monthly payment work? Is it just to use the packaging tools, or will your apps already in the stores break if you stop your subscription?
I am a javascript developer, Trigger.io seems cool, and I wouldn't mind paying to make it easy to write in coffee instead of java and objective c, but I wouldn't want a splash screen and wouldn't want to be locked into a subscription.
Hi, I wrote that line. I was doing my initial testing on Chrome and css() wasn't removing the
attributes properly, which was causing problems with the animation.
Great introduction to Backbone.js + trigger. I've used Backbone.js and trigger for one of my projects and it works really well. Didn't know about the CSS reset tip, I'm going to check that out.
I hope these guys aren’t trying to suggest that hard-coding the specific css-animation logic into the "show" function of a generic "page" view is generally good practice when building some complex app.
It's fine for a quick demo, but that’s definitely not where such logic belongs for any kind of maintainable project.
I've heard anecdotally that setting those css animations via JavaScript vs defining them in a stylesheet, then toggling classes in the code, yields slightly better performance. I have nothing to back that up but would be interested in hearing if other's have noticed the same thing.
Edit: I didn't post this to just promote my app. I noticed that there's no android market link on the blog post and thought some people might like to try out a backbone.js app without having to build it. I know it's not the same, but I do think it shows how responsive an html5 mobile app can be.
I'd like to test your app (just to see if it's more responsive than, for example, the linkedin app) but can you explain why it requires permission to access the phone status/identity? thanks!
I've been musing the same thing for a little while now. I think Zepto, Backbone, RequireJS and HTML5 Mobile Boilerplate makes a solid foundation for a mobile app framework, much more lightweight than jQuery Mobile, which is IMO unusable for anything but the simplest of apps. All that is missing is a CSS library to take care of the UI elements and perhaps transitions too.
One idea I had was to take the CSS from Sencha /KendoUI / jQTouch and combine with the components above to create a 'Backbone Mobile' framework. I just haven't had the time yet to figure out if this would work.
Hey I have checked out your backbone mobile app.Its really awesome.The thing that charms me more is that you have used backbone for for presenting responsive interface,Great!
Zepto doesn't support IE at all. I'm all for not spending much effort getting stuff to work in IE, but it seems like a bad idea to take it so far as to use Zepto.

But we ask for the subscription payment as long as you keep distributing the app if it is a paid app or if you want to put your own splash page in.

// This fix was hard-won - // just doing .css(property, '') doesn't work! $old.get(0).style["margin-left"] = "" $old.get(0).style["-webkit-transform"] = ""
What wasn't working and how this lines solved the problem?
