 * I’m not sure if this is the right category.
 * I am going to build a social intranet for a company with about 750 employees.
   They already use WordPress with the BuddyPress plugin. Also, they have multiple
   internal systems which would have to supply additional data for the intranet.
   The application has to available for PC, and smartphone/tablet via browser and
   as a standalone app. Both for at least Android and iOS.
 * So far, we’ve been talking about building a responsive HTML5 webapp which communicates
   with a centralized API. I would have to build the API, too. For the frontend 
   they’ve recommended me to use AngularJS, but I’m concerned about performance 
   if you combine it with WordPress/BuddyPress. Does anyone have experience with
   this? And would you build a responsive website or a seperate mobile version?
 * I’ve been comparing multiple solutions to build the mobile app with (near) native
   performance. These are some viable options I’ve found:
    - Appcelerator Titanium Studio
    - AppGyver Steroids
    - Xamarin Studio
 * In your experience, what are the pros and cons with these options? Are there 
   any pitfalls with any of these? Do you have other recommendations?
 * Thanks ahead!

 * Hello,
 * With WordPress you can use a plugin as BuddyPress and use JQuery or other Mobile
   plugin for having mobile version.
    But if you need to use AngularJS, I think 
   you’ll need to build your own mobile module.
 * I am learning AngularJS and by seaching for templates, I found your post.

 * Hey,
 * Not sure how far along you have gotten, but as far as performance on AngularJS,
   if you are using a RESTful API, it is not bad. I’m currently building a single-
   page app to work with a WordPress + WooCommerce build, and I am utilizing AngularJS
   for the front end.
 * I have built a demo of my [AngularJS theme](http://www.roysivan.com/angular-wordpress-theme)
   and have compared performance of using a RESTful API (utilizing [WP-API](https://github.com/royboy789/WP-API))
   vs. a non-restful API
 * I wrote a blog article about it – [http://www.roysivan.com/wordpress-restful-apis-angularjs/#.Uw98yvldV8E](http://www.roysivan.com/wordpress-restful-apis-angularjs/#.Uw98yvldV8E)
 * Check my blog for other articles I’ve written revolving around my AngularJS +
   WP development.
