Hi, in the last two month I supported Cordova on stackoverflow a lot and I want to give you a quick overview:
Questions per month about 1000, unanswared about 75%. Ionic: 550/65% Telerik: 115/64% NativeScript: 18/64% jQuery: 10000/44% My peronal result of response is, that I got an accept of my answers on about every 7. answer. A lot of my answers and the most of my comments got no response. There are two main types of Cordova users, which are asking: – The absolut beginner – The Middle-Type: one, who is in the middle of a project, but less experience on how to handle projects and writing code. The Beginner-Type (From my feeling about 80% from all): My favorite is: «I want to make a service like Facebook. What do I need?». They do not have experience/knowledge in handling a project, how to write clean code … They think it is just screwing some HTML, CSS and JS together. They put everything of scripts, libraries together, which they get. The basics are missing. The Middle–Type: The standard problem is, missing or wrong Content-Security-Policy. And the other problem is, they do not read the docs or they can’t find the info. From my feeling: About 50% have problems with event-driven-software. The less rate of answered questions comes from askers which have a max. reputation of 50 on stackoverflow. A lot of them are starting to write software and have chosen Cordova, because it seams to be easy. The answering of «real» questions is from my feeling in a rate of 50%.. Quit a lot of trouble is coming from the Cordova-daugthers, like PhoneGap, Ionic, … «I want to integrate plugin xyz. It doesn’t work». What should be done in my opinion? 1. We should more populate, maybe create a slogan: Write clean HTML, CSS, JS, then your Cordova App will work. 2. We should write in the top of «Get Started Fast», that there are some skills to build Hybrid-Apps. 3. We should have a small section, where we write what the best way is to make Cordova apps unusable. 4. We should make more clear what the difference between Cordova, Ionic, PhoneGap, … is.
