Building in public

Simple markup,
stunning apps.

Build native mobile apps the way you build for the web. Send markup from your server, get a real app on the phone. Camera, storage, buttery animations — all of it.

This doesn't exist yet. I'm building it. I want you to be a part of it.

The Idea

Build for the phone
like you build for the web

Your server sends markup. The phone renders a real, native app. That's it.

Server-Driven UI

Send markup from any backend. Change your entire app without an App Store update. I've had one running for almost 7 years.

Actually Native

Not a web view. Real native components, buttery smooth. Camera, accelerometer, local storage — all the phone stuff.

Your Existing Skills

If you can put up an HTML page at a URL, you can build a phone app. Your bag of tricks already works here.

I need your help

What do you need to build your dream app?

Camera access? Push notifications? Offline storage? Bluetooth? The accelerometer? What phone capabilities would unlock the app you've been sitting on?
