Even if web apps run in modern web browsers, there's a big chance that you would want your app to offer the same experience and integration as native apps on other platforms.

On Cordova/PhoneGap and Firefox OS, please see https://hacks.mozilla.org/2014/02/building-cordova-apps-for-...

Robert here, Editor of Mozilla Hacks. We cover all kinds of resources for developers, especially with a strong focus on open source and technologies. If you are interested in knowing more about privacy, please get in touch with the people behind jsDelivr, write a comment to the blog post or similar. Thanks.

Hi Robert, sorry I did not realise that this was not a Mozilla project. The post sounds like it is and the site suggests it is a "hack" by Mozilla.

No worries. The name of the web site is Mozilla Hacks, and we talk about everything open source/Open Web. I've added a note at the beginning of the post to be more clear.

I second that. Stack Overflow is to discuss problems when developing, whereas Bugzilla (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi) is for reporting actual bugs and the support site is more about product support: http://support.mozilla.org/

That logo is part of the new MDN redesign. In general, the dino is very popular among developers so I believe we will most likely continue to use it in developer circles, whereas it might go away in others.

And exactly, we both want to help out and also identify what developers have issues with.

I've always liked this story of Mozilla (a name for the dino):

It means that we are sponsoring those tags on Stack Overflow, have a landing page there and that people at Mozilla actively monitor and take part in discussions marked with that tag.

Do you know why Mozilla's Stack Overflow tags are using the dino head logo instead of the fox?

Yes, I do. :-) That logo is the new logo for MDN, our network for developers at Mozilla. Since Stack Overflow is a resource for developers we see a direct connection to that. Also, we have different foxes for different products, so that would probably be confusing - rather have one consistent look.

I could barely recognize what that tag icon means. A small odd white shape on another odd blue shape. You can spot the Google Chrome and Android icons from a mile. Come on.

Yes, you can extend the Developer Tools. More information at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/DevToolsAPI & https://github.com/victorporof/Restartless-Template

The article has been updated to reflect the collaboration between Cordova and Mozilla.

There are definitely visions and plans to be more than phones. Did you ever see this announcement? - http://blog.mozilla.org/ligong/2013/06/03/foxconn-joins-the-...

Edit: Disclaimer, I work for Mozilla

Awesome! Looking forward to being able to use FF OS on my laptop!
