Hey community, I’ve been working on a project called Jasonette (https://www.jasonette.com) and have been sharing my progress here for every important milestone. It’s great to have a place to share the progress. This time it’s a whole rethinking of the project itself and I think it may excite a lot of people who didn’t think much about Jasonette before. # Quick intro to Jasonette: Jasonette...

Hi there! Those of you who haven’t heard of Jasonette, Jasonette lets you build cross platform native apps using just a single JSON markup https://www.producthunt.com/posts/jasonette-cross-platform Jasonette has been all about writing a JSON markup on your server and loading it over the Internet, which then would turn into an app in realtime. Basically works like a web browser, but for native...

Hi guys, a few months ago I set out to build a web version of Jasonette (Another project I’m working on) and started looking for a web app framework to build upon. But after trying out all the options I came off dissatisfied with all of them. Some of the reasons were: 1. They are too complex: There are too many things to learn and understand just to use a framework. I didn’t want to become a...

Hi guys, first of all if you aren’t aware of Jasonette, please check that out first https://www.producthunt.com/posts/jasonette-cross-platform JSON Web Container is a new addition for Jasonette, where you can take ANY HTML+Javascript+CSS and turn them into a native component you can plug in.

I made this because sometimes I really don't feel like talking to Alexa. Especially when she's playing some loud music she gets full of herself and just completely ignores me, and i have to shout like ten times just to get her to acknowledge me. Sometimes I look at myself doing this and think "this is how machines will take over. I am actually working harder almost to the state of begging to...

Hey guys, this project was a result of my frustration with Twitter's UI. I use Twitter 99% as a newsreader, and Twitter's web UI is not really optimized for that kind of usage. Here are some of the highlights: 1. Get rid of modals 2. Thereby allowing for multitasking on Twitter (read through a comment thread on the right side while scanning the feed on the left, scanning the feed while...

Hi guys, Jasonette is a different approach to making apps. Normally, making an app involves writing a program and putting it on the phone. But with Jasonette, you simply write a JSON file hosted on a server, and the Jasonette apps fetch and use it to build themselves on-demand, whenever you open them. 
Last month I posted the iOS version on Product Hunt and was blown away by all the interest...

Hi guys, I want to share something I've been working on for last several months. It's called Jasonette. Jasonette is an app that takes a JSON markup and turns it into iOS native components and function calls, which then can be packaged and distributed as your own app. And the most important part: it's 100% open source under MIT license, which means you can take it and build your app, submit...

Hey guys, as an avid product hunt lurker, I've always wanted a way to consume the site in more realtime manner. The default "sort by rank" system is good in its own way but I didn't want to miss all the interesting products being submitted throughout the day. So I made Kitty and have been using it for a while. Thought I would finally share it. Here's what makes it different from regular...
