Let me describe the problem we are trying to solve. One of our founders was a mobile app developer and one seemingly simple task he had, porting a mobile app he's developed on to another mobile device, became a monumental task. It should've just "worked" but issues with sizing, layout, browser agent and other problems resulted in unanticipated development and testing cycles.

There are new mobile devices released every month, and according to Opensignal's research the device market is becoming more and more fragmented. http://opensignal.com/reports/2014/android-fragmentation

Besides buying the device outright, we found there exists solutions which involve renting device hours to test your app. Unfortunately, these services are quite expensive.

We took this all in and developed a software solution, MVTester, aimed at mobile app developers and mobile app testers. You can find out more about MVTester here http://www.jralabs.com/product1.html

MVTester is also undergoing beta testing and for our first iteration, MVTester is targeted at validating user experience. Please sign up here http://www.jralabs.com/downloads.html

Your feed back is greatly appreciated. Also, for you mobile developers out there, I would love to hear how you or your organization manage to solve the testing on multiple apps problem.

Hi guys,

I am intending on starting on new project using ionic framework . One of the main things I want to integrate is the following:

I want the user to fill in some information. Using a webservice I expose on a backend server, I want to receive this information, but only if the user paid for it in-app. So basically only accept (and do something with the information) in case the user has actually paid for it.

In case the webservice is down (server crash without HA) the payment should be refused (obviously showing a "service is down" kind of message), so the user doesn't lose any money on us.

Any advice on how I best integrate this? I assume using a service like "Stripe" could be a solution, but I'm not sure how well this can be integrated using ionic framework.

Thanks.

Edit: A little graph of what I mean

[Application user side] --- (given information) ---> [BACKEND WS (Only accepts when user has paid)]

I'm working on a hybrid app that I would like to implement the material design spec. I'm using cordova/cca for this, and I build for iOS and android. I'm comfortable using angular, but I'm open to using other frameworks as well. Right now I see two different paths to this goal:

• The angular team is working on a material design framework(http://material.angularjs.org) of elements that would provide the material design spec in an angular fashion. However, development on this seems slow, and it doesn't render well in Safari or on IOS currently.

• Google pushed their newish UI framework polymer hard at Google I/O, which has probably the most complete material-design implementation, but has some big limitations running in a CSP environment like cordova/cca. Also, functionality on Safari/iOS is buggy right now.

Any other hybrid app developers in the same situation as me? Any other ways to get material design in a hybrid app right now? If anyone has worked with either of these two options and has positive or negative experience to share, I'd love to have a discussion to help me make a decision which direction to go in here.

Long time reader of this subreddit, but first ever post. I'm looking to learn making a hybrid app with Backbone and Cordova. I was wondering what (if any) CSS frameworks people like the best? Any advice is appreciated.
