17: The Famo.us vision of "Mobile First"

The Web Platform Podcast

Defender of Magic, wizardry and the web, and CEO of Famo.us, Steve Newcomb (@stevenewcomb), walks us through the current state of Famo.us. Steve talks about how they are innovating the web and what we can expect in the future of “mobile first” web development from Famo.us.

Famo.us utilizes the power of a Virtual DOM combined with several engines that optimize the power of “cpu bound” performance. Famo.us claims to have mobile performance improvements that eliminate ‘janky’ animations and blur the lines between native device apps and mobile web apps.

Steve goes on to talk about how in April Famo.us will be releasing several features that will enable designers to easily pair with developers and also a new way of building with the framework that will “marry” native and web technology. “Mixed Mode” is a breakthrough for the team and apps built with this new feature will likely have native or even better than native UX & performance.
