I really hope that this isn’t just a talent acquisition, with NK being pushed to the sidelines :( It’s all gone very quiet on the NimbleKit site with no sign of the devs for ages and only other users contributing help & code.

This framework is getting better every time. I am still dissapointed in the performance of the new Navigation View, though. The show/hide animations when pushing and popping on Android are too choppy (See the O’Reilly example). Will this be optimized before the final version? Cool to see you guys making so much progress!

I opened the kitchen sync example full screen in the browser. - Top icons are replaced with white squares - Forms demos are broken. The first one doesn’t scroll and there are severe redrawing issues when transitioning from one example to the next. - White flashes at the end of each slide in bottom tabs example - Dropdown selectors, action sheet and picker all use the “phone picker” instead of showing the information properly like on the desktop. Seems like a profile issue. - Double taps generate single tap first A few issues remain with PlayBook 2.0. I opened the kitchen sync example full screen in the browser.

Can we get a roadmap when other native API’s will be supported? My vote is GeoLocation should be first up. Great work! Native packaging looks promising.

The connection, notification, and camera APIs will be very useful to me. I hope you’ll eventually add support for accessing contacts, which would be very useful to me and undoubtedly many other developers. This is great!
