So I'm checking out tools to make cross-platform mobile hybrid apps with web languages (dang that's a mouthful) and afaik the choice is either (Adobe) PhoneGap or Cordova which are technically the same core thing but different.

Anyone know of anything else I should check out?

@kenw2 That's just a normal website.

I'm explicitly trying to make an app (on the app stores).

You can make an html5 app on a website and just tell people to visit it online maybe. Idk I used a website that did that "use our app on your mobile devices at app.example.com" I just thought it was cool ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That's not just HTML5 then. :P

That's my point.

You can't make an app with just HTML5?

What about just plain simple html5?

Ooh, apparently https://facebook.github.io/react-native/ is a thing.

That's tempting but also dang I don't want to deal with React for this. But then again I really should learn React better.

Looks like the best way to go currently is the Ionic framework running on Cordova.

I briefly used that setup during work one time for a project, but never tried it from scratch.

That's good to know for the future. I'm not doing a game though, just a small social-network-esque app.

Likely not going to do anything with it in the long.

@.:A-MAN:. If it's a game, cocoons canvas+ performs better. Phonegap is really easy too. I havnt used it in a while but I remeber everything mostly being simple xml. I used it in like 8th grade so it's probably easy and fast

Yeah, I noticed that limitation. That's not a problem for me since I have everything I need to build manually for iOS/Android, I'm just more concerned over 1) Platform support/Community (which seems to be a problem for neither), 2) Performance (which seems to be roughly the same since PG and Cordova are so similar), and 3) ease of use/speed of development. Still not sure about the last one.

I have used phone gap and cocoonjs

Cocoon is easier, but phone gap has more apis and stuff. I switched to cocoon because phonegap only allows one app free at a time
