Review of recroom Web app recommendation for B2G-specific optimizations

[tofumatt]

Howdy dev-gaia and dev-webapps folks!

I recently wrote about recroom, an effort from some folks on the Apps Engineering Team at Mozilla to supply web developers with a good set of tools/docs on writing offline web apps, mainly geared at Firefox OS. I’d really like some help from people with Firefox OS experience to optimize these recommendations for Firefox OS—especially in terms of performance or user experience.

Rec Room came out of me writing High Fidelity—a Podcasts app for Firefox OS. The app is up at https://marketplace.firefox.com/app/podcasts/ and the code is at https://github.com/mozilla/high-fidelity/

I’d love to know what could be done in the app to make it perform better on Firefox OS. From things like memory/CPU usage to issues like https://github.com/mozilla/high-fidelity/issues/41 and https://github.com/mozilla/high-fidelity/issues/40 that are more UX focused.

I want to take these fixes and push them back into rec room, so developers with more complex needs can write apps for Firefox OS that perform well :-)

I’m on IRC as tofumatt and hang out in the #apps channel, but also just filing GitHub issues would be crazy helpful. Thanks a bunch :-)
