Location: Madison, WI or remote The Ionic (http://ionicframework.com/) team is looking for great devs to help web developers build the future of mobile apps. Right now we are looking for two positions: an Ionic Core Developer, and a Backend dev. Core developers will be working on our open source SDK (https://github.com/driftyco/ionic), and should have a strong JS background (experience with AngularJS and cordova is a plus). Bonus points for having native development experience. Ionic is one of the top ~50 most popular open source projects on GitHub (and growing quickly!), and already over 220,000 apps have been built on the platform in 2014. As a backend dev, you'll be helping us build out the business model behind the open source SDK. We have some big plans to take advantage of taboos around Hybrid development and build the most compelli

ng mobile development stack in the world. Imagine the future of mobile apps running all on Ionic backend services. This is where we are going. About us: We're a funded team of 14 primarily based in Madison but with employees around the country. We're the people behind Codiqa and Jetstrap (http://codiqa.com/ http://jetstrap.com/) and are proud to have served close to 1M developers in our lifetime. If interested, email jobs@ionicframework.com.

Directives are more powerful - for example, child directives can require the parent directive's controller and make use of it, which can lead to some powerful control flow. You can also define a controller and have the directive consume it via named reference - here is one example that makes use of this: https://github.com/driftyco/ionic/blob/master/js/angular/dir... Controllers should be consumed this way, so that they become easier to test. Testing directives can get complicated.

Ionic Framework - http://ionicframework.com/ - Madison, WI or REMOTE We are looking for a few great developers to help make Ionic and web technologies the leading platform for mobile development. The first role we are looking for is a core contributor to our open source GitHub project (https://github.com/driftyco/ionic). As a core contributor, you will work with the existing contributor team to add new features to the framework, fix issues, interact with the community, and build out build and test services. We are looking for strong Javascript developers that love the web but are interested in adapting native concepts to the browser. We are lucky to say we get to work on open source as a full time job! We are also looking for two backend developers to help build out our as yet unreleased backend services and tools which will give Ionic d

evelopers some unique and powerful features that make building on Ionic very compelling. Come help us build out our service stack on AWS with Docker, Python, and Go. In the few months since Ionic has been out, the project has seen some really great adoption. With 6200 stars, Ionic is one of the top 120 projects on github and rising quickly. Traffic is growing 40% month over month, and our developer community is becoming very strong. Come join our team of 12 (a mixture of Madison and remote in the US) in making native development a thing of the past! (More about our company: http://techcrunch.com/2014/03/10/drifty-makers-of-the-ionic-...)

The reality is that tap events won't work correctly until you actively fix them, and almost all of them can be fixed (including ghost clicks). Fastclick.js does help here a bit, but it's not perfect. We did a ton of work on our end to have a comprehensive tap solution (though some of it is specific to Ionic projects), but could be useful for inspiration for your own project: https://github.com/driftyco/ionic/blob/master/js/utils/tap.j...
