Interesting to you guys should be that it’s a hybrid app that uses HTML5 for almost everything. Our users don’t seem to mind: it’s been downloaded almost a million times already in our (tiny!) country the Netherlands.
We’d really appreciate your feedback: please join the special ‘HNers’ group by visiting https://happening.im/t/ARHMUENYF - or take a crack at developing your own plugin on https://platform.happening.im . Thanks!
We wanted a playful look for the app, hence its colorfulness. Maybe we took it a little too far?
If you used a much more toned-down image of some friends having fun together, maybe simply holding their phones by their sides and laughing at something, it would make me feel more at ease that this app knows its place in my world.
There is no link to any plugin store from your website.
( Firefox user here, with messages like "The Application Cache API (AppCache) is deprecated and will be removed at a future date. Please consider using ServiceWorker for offline support." in the console when trying to load the site. Chrome is fine. )
Because everything was already built with HTML5 (or actually: WebKit's HTML5), we got Chrome/Safari support almost for free and that's why the web version exists.
Getting firefox and IE to behave is something that still needs some attention. Thanks for trying out!
Accidentally, weChat announced their app platform yesterday, which allows developers to develop apps run inside weChat messenger.
I think I wrote one of the few first real third party plugins when this was hot in Holland last year.
