I've had great experience using Zepto, Backbone & custom styles. Was able to field a single-page app with about a dozen views - very interactive and very fast. Total app size about 25K including support libraries. Data loads asynchronously, cached using localstorage. I ran into endless glitches with JQM, but Zepto/Backbone/CustomCSS has been bulletproof every step of the way.


I'm heading this way on a PhoneGap app I'm working on right now. Once you give up the goal of a pixel-perfect emulation of a stock iOS UI the combination of Zepto/Backbone/CSS is pretty powerful and much, much faster than Cocoa for prototyping.


cool, thanks! what did you do for page transitions? we see that zepto handles the touch events and dom events.
