I really like this approach. I never liked any cross platform solution such as Cordova or Xaramin. The approach google is taking is a best-of-both-worlds approach:
- Latest uix on the native platforms
- Shared model layer in the apps
I would love them to create sample projects, or to provide a framework for doing this kind of stuff
How is that different from Xamarin? Inbox is written in Java and Xamarin apps are written in C# but I think the idea is very similar - cross platform logic, native UI. Why would you prefer the approach Google took but dislike Xamarin's approach?
From what i know, Xaramin only has the ui elements that both platform supports. You are writing one UIX for both platforms, and thus you can only use the common-denominater uix. Which limits your uix.
