Build a Famo.us iOS app - famo.us

I have followed the Famo.us tutorial thinking that I would be able to get an iOS app at the end of it. So far, I can build browser apps using the Famo.us JavaScript API, but I cannot get any documentation explaining how to convert my browser app into an iOS app.
How can I build an iOS app from a Famo.us browser app?

From the main famo.us page, we can see the definition of what famo.us is and what we can do with it.
Famo.us is a free, open source JavaScript framework that helps you
create smooth, complex UIs for any screen.
Famo.us is the only JavaScript framework that includes an open source
3D layout engine fully integrated with a 3D physics animation engine
that can render to DOM, Canvas, or WebGL.
Theres no official documentation from famo.us about how to embed a webapp/mobile-site on a iOS app.
Check the Xcode or Phonegap frameworks, with them you can embed the famo.us webapp into a native app.

Ionic document scanner application

I am looking for a plugin or a way where I can implement the same idea as "document scanner" into an Ionic application in which when you open the camera it detects the document borders and clarifies the photo after capturing it.
Is there is any tutorial or any one can record to me a video where I can benefit from it to implement this feature, since I need it for my application that I build for my university senior project.

Do I have to use jquery mobile with phonegap to make a hybird app

I have developed a web app using html, css, jquery and django, and has made it compatible for the screen in mobile devices. But now I want to make it a hybrid app for android/ios and users can install it for extra features. Googled and found phonegap to be a perfect solution. On further searching for the tutorial, most of the tutorial are using jquery mobile for the purpose. My question is, do I need to use jquery mobile to develop a phonegap hybrid app?
No, its not needed, jQuery, without mobile version, its perfectly capable of working with Cordova (I have also made several professional projects with it).
The only limitation is with some touch events, like swipe or pinch to zoom, in what you are going to need another library, like hammerjs

How do I embed my shinyapps.io RShiny app within git-flavored markdown?

I have a small RShiny app up on shinyapps.io.
I would like to embed my app within Git flavored markdown, so I can post it on my blog.
Screenshots are nice and all, but I want to be able to embed the app itself and let people play with it.
I've seen a lot of interest in people wanting to include markdown in their Shiny apps. But how can I do the reverse?
I looked at using an iframe, but apparently those are disallowed for security concerns.

Ionic app startup time

Just getting into this ionic framework. build an simple app with just a tab and menu, deploy to android phone. it seems like it takes a good 3 seconds to load. the black screen last for 3 seconds then the app shows. I also try the ionicview app from ionic. similar experience. my question is, is it just something I missed or it's just one of the draw back of this kind of hybrid app? it make sense that the webview need to load and parse the js and html then render the UI.
Crosswalk provides a bundled Chrome Webview with the app, resulting in better performance and predictability. It helps a lot on older Androids and also speeds up the newer phones.

Which Platform of Unity is best for Facebook Canvas App

I want to deploy my Unity3D game on Facebook as canvas App. There are two platforms in unity version 5:
WebPlayer
WebGL (Preview)
I have no idea about both of these builds. I am using Parse to store my user data. And Facebook Unity SDK for social gaming. I have built for IOS platform and now for Canvas App deployment I want to know:
which one of these would be best for Canvas App?
I want to know if there are any issues regarding Parse API or Facebook Unity SDK for
WebPlayer/WebGL build?
EDIT:
I have built for WebPlayer and i can not run it on Google Chrome.
does it have to do anything with Canvas App too?
I have built for WebGL and tried to run it on Google Chrome and got this alert:
( I am using Google Chrome Version 44.0.2403.107 (64-bit) )
Any suggestion/help is highly appreciated.
I will suggest you to not build your game in webplayer, because chrome is dropping support for unity webplayer(Google Chrome version 42 and later has disabled all NPAPI plugins), and other browser will also drop the support sooner or later. The best way forward is to use webGL. WebGL in unity is still getting evolved, but this is the future. I also have developed game for webGL, I didn't face much problems except data storage. Parse does not support webgl yet, you have to look for other services. In my case I have build my own php server and it is working fine. Anyways you have to choose what is best in your case. You should use webGL , but thats my opinion.
The error message is more or less self-explanatory: Chrome doesn't support running Unity WebGL when it is run from a local file on disk, because of Chrome security. This is not a real problem, as in production it will always be run from a webserver (http://).
During development, your options are:
Start chrome with access to local files: chrome.exe --allow-file-access-from-files
Host a local webserver (Apacha/WAMP, IIS, etc)
Use firefox
You are correct. Building the unity for the web is the way to go. You select web from the build settings and you can upload it to the facebook canvas. The thing with chrome is that it no longer supports NPAPI and that is what the Unity web players uses. You can manually enable it and try out your game in chrome. But for the majority of chrome users unity web player no longer works.
