Hey, one of the founders here. :) Rest assured our company is financially strong and Ionic will only be getting more love going forwards. We did raise some money recently , but we actually have some nice revenue already (imagine that!).

Unlike our past products, we aren't trying to build a company around just Creator. It's a tool to help existing Ionic devs and train the future of Ionic devs, and so we want to keep it free as much as possible to just help more people build with Ionic.

Thanks for that info. Using a new framework for a project always involves some leap of faith for me. Perhaps I'm a bit too conservative there, but I hate sinking hours into learning something new, only to find out that it's soon going to get abandoned by its creators. So real revenue is great to hear, ionic looks really nice so far :)

Good luck for your endeavor!


That's awesome. I'm such a hater of the iOS dev requirements so I really hope that the hybrid app space really takes off. Do you have any plans for mitigating JavaScript performance on mobile devices? Do you see any movement in building cross-paltform plugins?


JavaScript is fairly fast, the DOM is what is slow in my experience. I too am hopeful that the hybrid app space takes off as well.

It would be really cool to see Ionic have some support for windows. Then I could really see this being adopted at my company.
