Comment on Show HN: Bootstrap for Native iOS Apps

Comments

Quite a few things confuse me here:

How is a system based on CSS stylesheet native?

Why is it 1500 dollars per day to do what seems to be templated app development -- many other companies offer this at far far lower rates (think 50 dollars or less for a complete app).

Why only iOS? The purpose of templated distribution is to reach a wider audience, not a narrower one.

Pixate Engine is a native framework for iOS (and Android soon) for styling your native controls using the CSS syntax. There's no web here other than the shared syntax of CSS. For example, to style a native UIButton:

button { border-radius: 5px; background-color: red; }

Think of it as declarative markup for styling native controls.
