I tried it out on my Android phone. It&#x27;s surprisingly smooth, and feels pretty damn close to a native app. Good job!<p>Try it at <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.flipkart.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.flipkart.com</a> on your phone.

The unspoken part of this: very little of it works on iOS. It&#x27;s a huge shame. But I love seeing people use this stuff - the only way to get Apple to adopt it is going to use it and show iOS users that their platform is holding them back.

Some people have pointed out that a lot of this doesn&#x27;t work on iOS. I&#x27;d like to add that it also doesn&#x27;t work for Firefox on Android. Instead you are re-directed to the App Store and get a pretty strange fallback page [1] if you don&#x27;t use the App Store.<p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.dropbox.com&#x2F;s&#x2F;qr4e54ja8vnyoa8&#x2F;Screenshot_2015-11-11-13-52-19.png?dl=0" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.dropbox.com&#x2F;s&#x2F;qr4e54ja8vnyoa8&#x2F;Screenshot_2015-11...</a>

very well done. even though native apps have the momentum, I&#x27;m still rooting for the web to win. examples like this show it&#x27;s possible to have fully featured mobile product experiences with smooth performance on the web, given the right tech choices and attention to detail

Nicely done! Would love to get a list of which libraries and techniques they use!

Pretty cool stuff. I&#x27;ll be really interested when it works for iOS as well.
