This looks cool, although it appears a bit young still.

I'm looking for a cross platform (>= iOS+Android) mobile solution, so I can write a web app once, and deploy it easily as a mobile app on multiple platforms. The app will be very simple, almost proof-of-concept-like; I basically just need something not ugly that can connect to the RESTful app backend.

I've been Googling for the past couple of weeks, and so far https://coronalabs.com/ and https://dropsource.com/ look interesting, but I would love to hear from someone with experience.



I looked at those as well (plus options like Ionic) and decided to go for React Native.

Coronalabs is all about graphics and therefore well suited for games. They do offer some very basic widgets, which are not native (which is ok, but you probably have to create some yourself, for example they no lists if I remember correctly).

Dropsource focuses on offering the same dev experience for both iOS and Android. But you still have to build each platform separately. Its a bit like React Native without the cross-platform option.
