I just want webview-based mobile apps to support basic platform navigation conventions like scrolling to top when the top of the screen is tapped. That one simple gesture immediately outs webview apps 90% of the time. I'll stop preferring native apps when webapps start offering a benefit to me, the user, instead of just the developer.


The other one on iOS is edge-dragging to go back/forward in the navigation stack. Neither of these things is -hard- to implement with current tech either!


the benefit to the user comes because the developer can support more platforms. imagine you are an ios user, but the developer only has the resources to build for android. with phonegap/cordova, you as an ios user would benefit by having access to the app (rather than not having it all) if a cross platform solution is used by the developer.
