Apart from a mention that Cordova is a supported platform on the front page, I'm not quite if we should have it as a mention for every feature, as we already have Javascript there. We need to find out how Corodova developers normally go about picking libraries that they want to use. I assume they can use any Javascript library? Perhaps we just add a note to the download page that for use with Cordova you case use the Javascript library and download a native plugin if needed. Makes sense to me. I think the current site does confuse me a bit... what's the difference between Web/JavaScript and Hybrid/Cordova. If we are using the same exact code (aerogear.js) then my first thought is just to combine that under JavaScript (which I think is your suggestion?). If the code is similar, but different between Web and Hybrid then it may be useful to clearly define the differences. As a Cordova developer, I'm not a hardcore Java or Objective-C developer. So my first thought is to find a plugin. If that doesn't exist, I'm looking for JavaScript. I want the fastest route (aka the least amount of coding) to integrating 3rd party tools and making it work for both Android and iOS apps. Example 1: AeroGear push notification, I used the plugin. Example 2: Count.ly mobile analytics, I use the community Countly SDK JS because there is no plugin: https://github.com/Countly/countly-sdk-js I hope this helps. I do really love the new look and feel of the mockups. Very clean!
