so, you are proposing having a layer that basically wires a native GUI
element to a JavaScript function?

I thought that Cordova would already allow you, building native UI _and_
invoking JS functions, but looks 'pure' like Cordova apps are just WebView?
So, for adding native buttons, I'd have to take the project to the next
stage (e.g. open in Xcode and do some ObjC/Swift foo), where I than need to
manage the JS invocation (I assume that I am able to leverage Cordova for
the call from native to js, since that's what the plugins do - but _not_
explicitly wired to a native 'button;)?
