[resend] Looking for a Pyjs-desktop developer with experience in mobile apps

[C Anthony Risinger]

Message below was accidentally sent to the pyjs-devel list, which
pretty much only had commit logs and whatnot.

Anyone have specific comments/experiences/ideas RE: mobile development?

Hi,
Anthony Risinger told me, that our Project (attached) to create
Multiple apps form a browser-based Flashapplication can be done with
Pyjamas-desktop similar to AdobeAir. We are looking for a developer,
who has experience in the development of mobile apps.

Best regards

I think it's worth pointing out that as a mobile app development
platform, pyjd is a bad idea. Pyjamas is just a python web framework
used either to generate Javascript, or to run directly in Python -
assuming there is a python-accessible browser engine available (this
last part is why there are so many problems with pyjd on several
platforms).

I would be surprised if there were compatible browser engines on all
the desired mobile platforms.

Perhaps it would be a better approach to try to build the app using
pyjs, and serve it via the server, as a more traditional web app. It
has a fighting chance that way, of living on all the desired
platforms.

Just my opinion.

I've been thinking the same thing, although perhaps an option would be the web server also be local to the mobile device - which would be nifty, because then you could also connect to the app running on the mobile device via a browser on a desktop/laptop and have the advantage of a real keyboard, more screen real estate, etc.

So IMHO the question is how easy would it be to use something like jQuery Mobile - http://jquerymobile.com/ - via pyjs, so you could take advantage of gestures and other types of UI specific to mobile devices. (jQuery Mobile is just one of tons of options.)

If the back end web server was also running on the device, you could also take advantage of back-end native features like integration with push and notification services.

Am I correct in thinking that this is something that would have to be added to pyjs core - e.g. so there would be "pyjs" for non-mobile web browsers, "pyjs Desktop" for desktop applications, and a new "pyjs Mobile Web" for smartphones and tablets?

From the perspective of people with way more knowledge and experience than I have, is this idea nifty or stupid?

... and of course the option used in pyjs would be GWT-based. 

These look the most alive:

* http://www.m-gwt.com/

* https://code.google.com/p/gwt-phonegap/

* https://github.com/sksamuel/jqm4gwt

Of these based on brief research mgwt looks like the best bet.

Also this presentation is a bit old but so awesome:
