Best of all, you can submit those apps to the Mac App Store. (I have. Great compromise.)

We did too :) Write once, run on multiple platforms! Awesome.

So I guess that puts you one level above "casual spammer." How do you sleep at night?

No. The app is just as legit as my iOS version: http://subdivideapp.com/

There's nothing inherently spammy about writing a Mac app in HTML.

Embed "Webkit".

HTML5 is not a browser viewport.

Wouldn't this make it easier than ever to illegally distribute the app? Show Package Contents -> copy and paste files?

The alternative is just security through obscurity.

that's what people need to know when using phoengap.

but i guess someone could write an encryption/decryption filter before passing data to webkit?
