Exercise: why is Instagram a native app? - Ability to focus camera - Scrolling header push effect(?) - Play inline videos(?) Anything else?
-
Where I put a (?) I meant I wasn't sure if this was already possible with web (I've seen a hack for inline video, but it's kinda freaky)
-
Some good responses (valid: inline visibility of camera roll, client-side transcoding/compression, share intent from *other* apps inbound).
-
Doable: filters (with WebGL), share out (server auth), payload size (SW/xhr), infinite scroll, push notifications. etc.

This wasn't proposing that Instagram *should* be rewritten as web, and it wasn't right at the time in 2010. Just an exercise in web progress
