Instantly turn any API into a native app, with a single JSON markup

Hacker News

Hi guys, I've worked on several apps in the past couple of years, and found that it takes too much effort going from having an idea to building an app and having the world use it. I wanted a way to have an idea, turn it into a fully functional native app, and share it with the world, all in the next 5 minutes, as quick and as easy as writing a blog post. That's why I built Jason. Basically Jason lets you build a native interface to display and interact with any data format (csv, rss, html, json), any website, any API in any way you want, simply by writing a JSON markup and loading it. There's no need for compiling, building, deploying, or anything like that. It's like loading a website but instead it's your JSON that turns into a native app. Everything from defining elements to styling to executing actions is described in a single JSON markup. I really hope Jason can be helpful for anyone who have great ideas or great content but never bothered to build an app because it's too tedious or haven't had resources to do so. Anyway I hope you guys like it, please let me know what you think, or ask any questions. Thanks! The url is www.jasonclient.org
