Ask HN: Recommended stack for mobile-first webapp
(Yes, I realise this isn&#x27;t Stack Overflow, but a roundup of current experience and opinion would be good)<p>It&#x27;s amazing how many options there now are for JS frameworks: Angular, Ember, Backbone, React to name just the ones off the top of my head.<p>I&#x27;m an experienced Ruby&#x2F;Rails developer and I&#x27;ve done a fair amount of Javascript&#x2F;jQuery whenever needed.  I&#x27;ve got a project which is virtually mobile-only and I&#x27;d like it to be lightning fast and smooth. So my feeling is that API first and a Javascript driven front end is probably the way to go here, but I have no idea what&#x27;s the current recommendation.  I really want to be able to wrap the whole thing in Phonegap&#x2F;similar later to get native apps up without wasting all my work.<p>Imagine you were building Uber as a webapp - that&#x27;s the functionality I need.
