Has Anyone Used the rhomobile Framework? [closed]

Question

I have a client asking about the rhomobile framework. I have been researching it a bit and wanted to see what the community at large thought about the framework and what, (if any), problems you came across in developing with it.

Thank you,

L.

Answer 1

Only the view of the application is rendered in the browser of the platform. There are bindings to access native capabilities of the device from ruby code (taking a picture, accessing GPS data...) and it is possible to extend this with own native code. Of course the view is just HTML and won't be as native as the native UI of the device, but that's the price you have to pay for cross platform development. A big strength of RhoMobile is the build-in sync-capabilities, which lets you synchronize model-data with a central backend.
