Apps Mobile Web
Why apps? • Easy to control over stores • Rich-get-richer
dynamics • Easier to retain users

HTML5 vs Native on mobile Web
Watch your language • HTML5 is a marketing buzzword •
Responsive Web Design doesn’t exist Good design is responsive by default.
What is web?
– Wiki “Web is a system of interlinked “hypertext documents
that run “on and are accessed “via the Internet.”
None
Custom URL schemas • fb://profile/(fbid) • tel:+180022933 • twitter://username •
…
applinks.org
Native is a part of Web ecosystem
What is native?
“Native — software or data “formats supported by a certain
“system with minimal overhead “and additional components” – Wiki
Web technologies are native for browsers
Browsers are responsible for standards support
Apps boom Do you remember dot-com boom?
Why do we love apps? • Push Notifications • Offline
Mode • Performance ! ! • Look & Feel • Distribution • Background Sync
Look & Feel

~300ms delay
tap.js
document .getElementById('any-element') .addEventListener('tap', function (e) { // All the magic
happens here }); $('#any-element').on('tap', function (e) { // All the magic happens here });
Performance

Debugging hell 1. Change the code 2. Change manifest 3.
Clean cache 4. Debug 5. GOTO 1

Meet Service Worker
Event-driven scripts that run independently of web pages
• Handling resource requests • Foundation for other standards
navigator.serviceWorker.register('/worker.js') .then(function(serviceWorker) { // To use the serviceWorker immediately, //
you might call window.location.reload() });
var base = "https://videos.example.com"; var inventory = new URL("/inventory.json", base)
+ ""; ! ! this.addEventListener("fetch", function(e) { var url = e.request.url; if (url == inventory) { e.respondWith(new Response({ statusCode: 200, body: JSON.stringify({ videos: { /* ... */ } }) })); } });
var base = "https://videos.example.com"; ! this.addEventListener("install", function(e) { ! var
cachedResources = new Cache( base + "/base.css", base + "/app.js", base + "/logo.png" ); ! ! e.waitUntil(cachedResources.ready()); ! ! caches.set("videos-cache", cachedResources); });
this.addEventListener("fetch", function(e) { ! e.respondWith( caches.match(e.request, “videos-cache") ); });
var base = "https://videos.example.com"; var inventory = new URL("/inventory.json", base)+"";
! this.addEventListener("fetch", function(e) { var url = e.request.url; if (url == inventory) { e.respondWith( fetch(url).then( null, function() { return caches.match(inventory); } ) ); } });

Install this app
navigator .mozApps .install("path/to/manifest");
Notifications
Web Notifications
var Notification = window.Notification || window.mozNotification || window.webkitNotification; ! Notification.requestPermission(
function (permission) { // console.log(permission); } );
! var notification = new Notification( "SEC Spring 2014", {
body: "I hope you enjoy the conference" } ); ! notification.onclick = function () { // Something to do };
• Opened website • Client-side only
Safari Remote Notifications
The Flow • Request permissions • Register the device •
Send notifications
{! ! "aps": {! ! "alert": {! ! "title": "Flight
A998 Now Boarding",! ! "body": "Boarding has begun for Flight A998.",! ! "action": "View"! ! },! ! "url-args": ["boarding", "A998"]! ! }! ! }!
• Server-side • Offline
Service Worker Push Notifications
The Flow • Register locally • Register on the server
side • Send notifications
navigator.serviceWorker.register("/sw.js"); ! navigator.serviceWorker.whenReady().then(function(sw) { ! navigator.push.has("regId").catch(function() { navigator.push.register({ sender: {
// sender data... } }); }).then(function (registration) { asyncXHR( "http://example.com/push/activate" + toQueryString(registration); ); }); });
this.onpush = function(e) { console.log(e.message.data); // Cache the data //
... }
Background Sync
Service Worker? Yes!
navigator.serviceWorker.register("/sw.js"); ! ! navigator.serviceWorker.whenReady() .then(function(sw) { ! navigator.registerSync( "id", {
interval: 'daily', data: '', description: '', lang: '', dir: '' } ); });
this.onsync = function(event) { var data = JSON.parse(event.data); ! if
(event.id === "id") { // make something with data } };
How to make mobile web suck less?
Blame the implementation, not technique
