Key Takeaways
Trying to build a generalized application which will work accross platforms is difficult and often times will lead to a mediocre experience on each platform. Creating best in class native versions of software when possible is more ideal. Get something working well for a single platform before trying to include each device out there (Android, iPhone, Laptop, TV...)
