This is really great. I worked along side these guys (strikingly) in the same cafe in SF, hacking away for a while before they got into YC. These guys are humble and really doing it right.

They took what others just see as a clone of weebly and have added enough USP to prove that it's all execution. They had customers even while sitting in the little Cafe in SF and have growing fast through sheer force of will ! Biggest thing, humble, not afraid to ask for help and thick as thieves.

These guys are what every entrepreneur should be trying to attain in a team !

Show HN: Clutch.io helps you build iOS apps fast and update them instantly 14 years ago

Eric, firstly I love your site, very nice landing page.

I'm curious on why a developer would want to pay for your solution to what seems like a problem that most can easily solve themselves with very little investment ? (Dynamic updates, pre-caching HTML/JS and presenting it locally for rendering).

The second component you offer on first blush is the JS wrapper / bridge to the native UI widgets which although might be nice to have most seasoned developers may find it a hard sell.

Cross platform would be compelling although the concern there being that the JS bridge is (obviously) iOS centric and may be difficult on other platforms ( Android / Blackberry / win 7 ).

Like I said, looks great I'm just curious what the value add would really be for a high volume application where cost to develop would be less than the pricing you offer (which is also of course recurring).
