Ask HN: Native or hybrid iPhone app?

1 pointsby egomaksabalmost 11 years ago
We just finished developing a native iOS app for our web based project management tool Breeze (http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.breeze.pm), and now we have some doubts about it.<p>At the moment we have 2 mobile apps:<p>* A basic mobile web app http:&#x2F;&#x2F;m.breeze.pm , it&#x27;s just a reduced functionality with some mobile friendly CSS.<p>* A prototype native iPhone app, we open sourced it http:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;breezepm&#x2F;breeze-ios .<p>Our main problem with the native app is that development is slow and painful, it&#x27;s basically reinventing the web functionality. Doing drag and drop, syncing changes with api etc.<p>It seems easier just to render HTML from server side and use all the ready made components.<p>Should we just drop the all native app and go for a hybrid approach ?
