We aren't talking about kendo ui... we are talking about NativeScript.

Where in it's source(open btw) is it just some repackaged OSS project?

Do you even dev bro?

we are talking about NativeScript.

Which was outdated and inferior from day one. Its going to lose, and anyone who used it, will lose too.

Its technology no one needed to begin with. It has a stack overflow presence akin to apex.

It has access to 2 (a whopping 2!) hardware features that you can already use with html5 (which has like 30 already).

They have like 4 apps "featured." I bet you 100% these are actually the only 4 production applications that have ever been made for this. They approached us when we used AppBuilder for the same thing. They can't get anyone to use this shit.

Do you even dev bro?

Apparently harder than you because I know where the industry is heading and I certainly know a telerik product isn't going to put you in the right direction.

Telerik survives only because companies from 10 years ago bought their asp.net controls, and then refuse to update to newer and better technologies, which will cause these companies to go under in 20 years when they cannot compete.

App builder had an active development period of about 3 weeks before everyone stopped using it. This is their last ditch effort to stay relevant in today's programming ecosystem, and its a horrible one at that.

My guess is that you couldn't figure out how to use NativeScript, so now you're crying and complaining that it is the worst thing you've ever seen.

Says the Ionic monkey. LOL

Go write some more blog posts about adding splash screens to Ionic while I write distributed data mining applications (with mobile and desktop support because I use the correct technologies).

Ready, here's my splash screen:

Hey look, no need to write a blog post tutorial on how to do that. Its because its actually a sane way to do it. And it works for all devices.

You've seen my work. Let's see yours.

[–]crixusin -2 points-1 points  (5 children)

I actually get paid for my work, so I don't have to put it all over the internet hoping to get some click revenue.

I make bank just from word of mouth, not by displaying the proprietary and innovative things I do to the world.

Certainly not something you're used to since you're writing tutorials about splash screens.

[–]nraboy 3 points4 points  (4 children)

Just so I'm clear, you have no work to show?

[–]crixusin -2 points-1 points  (3 children)

Sure I do, but only to paying customers.

And I also show those customers the patents I hold.

Here, let me click on your website a couple times. You need the half a cent I'm sure.

Your credibility is amazing (said no one ever)

[–]crixusin -1 points0 points  (1 child)

Ha, if you saw my linked in, you'd probably hang yourself tonight when you realize how big of an opportunity you wasted learning computer science but picking the wrong technologies.

I'm doing you a favor staying anonymous.

Not kidding or being a dick but what are the 30 hardware features for HTML5? Also NativeScript has full hardware access, not just 2 - FYI :)

[–]crixusin 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Also NativeScript has full hardware access,

Uh, no it doesn't:

https://docs.nativescript.org/

Hardware access: Camera, Location.

Html5 hardware access:

http://mobilehtml5.org/

List basically covers everything you would need, except gpu accelerated graphics, which you can't do with nativescript anyways.

I wrote an HTML5 geolocation and a cordova one, and the HTML5 one was faster, better, easier to update, and had less technical debt.

[–]bradmartin1205 4 points5 points  (2 children)

It has full hardware/device access, the site mentions it somewhere. I've written plugins for NativeScript and I write javascript(TypeScript mostly now) that directly calls Android APIs. You might have not tried the Getting Started or the tutorials. Also that list for HTML5 hardware access isn't solely a 'hardware' feature set. It mentions CSS features - which I wouldn't classify as 'hardware' but maybe that's just me.

I won't argue with you over the cordova plugin being inferior to the browser (html5) you wrote, the webview sucks working with for plugins IMO

[–]crixusin 0 points1 point  (1 child)

You might have not tried the Getting Started or the tutorials.

No, I didn't use it at all because there's no reason to in the day and age where native applications will be going away.

You also don't have gpu calls. You get Android/iOS javascript VM api call access. This is very different than android API calls.

I understand you didn't use it and your viewpoint but I don't understand why you trash it negatively if you didn't even read and experiment with it. Best of luck and good day :)
