I agree with Joerg. The only reason we have curated apps on the page is to show people that Cordova can be used for building real apps. One perception people have today is that Cordova and WebView is not fast enough, or that serious applications are written in native languages.
I think that any app on the showcase should emphasize 3 things - The app is pretty good, and feels like native and performs like one. - The app works across multiple platforms, ensuring code sharing - The app is popular, something that our users may have come across, or would like to try. While it would be great to talk about how the app was built, I fear that it would be hard to get apps to write all that information. It would actually be awesome if we have blog posts that has articles from these app authors, describing their experience with writing Cordova apps.
