w.r.t. Mobile...
1) I wonder why Henrik says: "Aware can create a OK mobile webapp but building native is another story."
I think this needs much discussion/clarification. If I was Vlad reading this, I might be wondering what does Aware have to do better to be ok for you. I'm sure he would want these things specifically listed (I sure do).
Recently, Mark B was under the impression that he didn't want to distribute the "Mobile Native (hybrid) App" because when they updated the App, they didn't want the user to have to re-download from the app store. Of course, thats not how it works at all. Point is, that up to 2 months ago, even Mark didn't know how Native apps worked.
So, for Henrik... ok, the apps (mobile webapp & native) look the same. It's the same Grids & Forms in web vs. Native. It's hitting the exact same Backend BSV. So, please elaborate on what you've found is deficient.
2) I will be involved in a new massive global web & mobile application. We are going to do the initial backend/maint & web system in Aware. It might not stay there, but Aware's speed will help prototyping, and help perfect the data model.
End users begin immediately with web screens to use now, but we wouldn't dream about using Aware for the public mobile app.
Then will make a new Mobile App for end user registration & daily use.
That app will be developed at a cost of $50k+ in React/Angular/Flutter/InstantDeveloper/etc.
Its just the perception that Aware can't make a good enough app for true end-user use. (And Henrik has pushed the Aware bounds of UI improvements, and he still has issues - which is why I want to see what those issue are - from an expert!).
Its not that we WANT to invest and learn another development environment, but we have to.
Vlad has said that no improvements "for some foreseeable future" will come in the area of Disconnected/Offline usability - the ability to lose connection and keep on working, then sync up when you have network again (like working in Hospital, or deep inside buildings/basements).
3) We're rolling out a mobile app this week on another project - internal users only. Native, so I could access the camera for barcode scanning. Having trouble with Push notifications. Maybe I should just use a Paid Push service and be done with it. Anyway, stuff works diff on mobile - there's minor issues. (Even simple things like the Hamburger menu breaking and not responding in a grid - I sent Email 2 days ago awaiting response.)
The type of stuff because we're living in an Aware framework living in a Kendo framework with a little cordova thrown in.
From a corporate aspect, there's no Aware contact with all the answers.
Aware does LOTS of things - 1 person can't be the Kendo interface guy, the REST framework expert, the Cordova guru, etc. etc.
It's not like Aware has a resource thats dedicated/championing its userbase to succeed in rolling out Mobile apps. To assist with new technologies.
But imagine if there was. Imagine if Aware wanted to be at the forefront of RAD Mobile Development. And you could get affordable and quick assistance for ALL things Mobile. And you could succeed!
Mobile is king and not going away.
But what is Aware doing about it?
"Us" not succeeding in new Aware-based Mobile apps isn't helping Aware grow and be seen as a tool to select for a Mobile application.
