How to build fast HTML5 mobile apps using backbone.js, zepto.js and trigger.io

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?<p>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.

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

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.<p>It's fine for a quick demo, but that’s definitely not where such logic belongs for any kind of maintainable project.

I'm curious about how much worse using something like jQuery mobile performs.

I did something similar to this when developing my backbone.js + phonegap + jquery android app (<a href="https://market.android.com/details?id=com.celebnoise" rel="nofollow">https://market.android.com/details?id=com.celebnoise</a>).<p>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.

Does Trigger handle the UI elements? Or is there another project to fill the gap? I don't want the bloat of jQuery Mobile.

Does anyone know what the Trigger.io logo looks like on the splashscreen?

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.
