Dual (classic web + iphone webapp) sinatra apps, got feedback ?

[Thibaut Barrère]

Hi,

Is there anyone here using sinatra to implement an app which is
available both on the web (regular browser) and as a iphone-specific
webapp (built on top of things like iwebkit.net or home made css for
instance) ?

After giving it a bit of thinking, I think I'm going to end up having
separate sinatra views, because the constraints are just too different
(lot of ajax + specific javascript and css on the iphone, blueprint or
960gs on the regular web...).

Out of curiosity, did anyone implement something similar with
sinatra ?

Any tips to share ?

thanks,

Thibaut

Hi there Thibaut,

If the two views are very different one from the other, then it's perfectly fine to have them separated into two views. Then you just need to recognize the kind of client that is using your application and delivering the views to it depending the type.

In the near future I'll be implementing something like that and I think this approach is good enough. :)

Rock On!
Javier.-

Hi Julio,

yeah I think it makes sense :)

I'll post my (sinatra-specific) findings here when I'll implement
that.

Until then, some links that coule be helpful:
