Hi, I have some experience in convincing management people that are not technical involved, so I think I'd share my thoughts on this to see if this help you. Since 2 weeks is no time, but is clear that going the React/Angular route will be equal or greater time, you must take a strategy, more over taking into account that this king of "measurement" are not targeting the real work/world.
So my bet will be to take something that "markets" the Royale path. Take into account that here you must think more as a "seller" that a "programmer". And you want to show something cool that makes the management be confident with your proposal. In this case, you can take JewelExample as a starting point (take a look at the video in this tweet to see what you get for free [1]) 1.- Make a copy/paste of this project and rebrand it with a theme color that is as close as the colors in your app (there's 12 themes for you to choose and even you can compile your own). 2.- Change the logo for yours. 3.- Change Navigation data provider to hard coded options that match your app 4.- make one or two screens *only* that matches your actual app. This should not be anything that work 100% even, 30%... just should show a good looking screen that have most of the controls (lists, buttons, text inputs....) that shows that the project can be done. Last, take into account that this is a POC or draft app that will show the potential of Apache Royale, but it's not something you'll be using far beyond the meeting. It's just a "marketing tool". Then if management approves, will be time to take the right path, measure times and go plan something real. I save some projects going this route, don't know if can apply to your case, but think I can share so you can evaluate this idea. Good Luck! :) [1] https://twitter.com/carlosrovira/status/1016613483255947264 2018-07-11 8:46 GMT+02:00 chembali <chemb...@hotmail.com>: > Thank you for the quick response.
