Well, this was an exciting week for us over here. Saturday morning, an article I had been working on about building hybrid apps for iOS, and some of the advantages and disadvantages they present, went live. It ended up hitting #1 on Hacker News, and generated a great discussion both there and over here.
If you haven’t read it yet, please do and leave any comments you might have. We’d love to hear your thoughts.
Cheers,
Aaron

MusicPlayerViewController
Our control of the week, MusicPlayerViewController, is an iPhone view controller to visualize and control music playback. This is as good a clone of iOS’ Music app as I have ever seen.
