Hybrid App Development could be the solution you need.

      '20 years later, I finally took that good advice.  Now I consider journal-writing to be one of the most valuable habits a programmer can have. And where it is enriching for any developer at any stage of their career, it is an essential discipline for those who work remotely or as part of a distributed team.',
      'In this talk I will share my experiences from the last few years of writing a developer journal and working in distributed teams. I\'ll cover some of the "why" questions and some of the reasons I find it so worthwhile. I\'ll also introduce some easy techniques, so that anyone in the audience who is keen can start right away. I\'ll wrap up with some exploration into how I see this fitting in with the past, present & future of the web.',
