@toobulkeh right now our plan is to focus on what Ionic uses, and that's currently Angular 1 and (soon) Angular 2 (which we are really excited about). However, we realized the tool itself could be used to target any kind of mobile output, and that's something we love about it. So, no short term plans but we're thinking about how to broaden the scope over time once we get this first part right :)

Very cool tool Matt and congratulations on the launch! How would you differentiate yourself from other similar tools like PhoneGap and Pixate? Seems to me like PhoneGap was built to try and make code work cross-platform, and Pixate was meant more for live in-depth prototyping, but you seem to land in a nice middle ground focused around drag-and-drop rather than customization, correct? Can't wait to start using this!
@rajamatage Hey Raj, Ionic actually uses PhoneGap/Cordova :) Think of Ionic as the "hybrid SDK". When programming native, the native SDK gives you actual components like lists and buttons and such. That's what Ionic does for web developers who want to make mobile apps. It goes like this:
1. Native Layer
2. Cordova/Phonegap Bridge
3. Angular
4. Ionic
5. Your App
Creator is just our Drag & Drop GUI editor that makes it easier to prototype Ionic apps!

@matthewkremer@rajamatage Ah! That makes perfect sense. Was just poking around on the site and can't wait to play around with it this weekend. Great launch!

Really enjoying Ionic and related apps. When might we see Ionic Creator bumped up to Ionic 2 - particularly the newer Push/Pop metaphor for pages?

When the Creator will work with Ionic 2? It's weird to a current service doesn't work with newer versions of the framework
Hello, as there are video tutorials? I would like to see how you can use your site develop applications? If you have a fully video how to create application? Thanks
