npm scripts vs Cordova hooks -- for build stage about picture-tour-app HOT 3 CLOSED

There was a pretty strong sentiment that said "don't use hooks" from a couple of people at the conference - also the npm scripts are pretty simple, and consistent (e.g using npm start to run in dev mode w/o using cordova at all)

Is there any argument for using cordova hooks? Happy to change if it's a better user experience.

I think just in terms of a template (as opposed to an example app), hooks mean users just use the commands they know like cordova build ios, etc. Instead of having to learn commands specific to the template.

Having said that, we did come across some issues with running a long-running process like the hot reloading server.

sigh

Let me play with it and see what I can come up with.

My plan is to work on the template initially as a branch to this app, then split it off. I assume you don't want to maintain it, but it's important for the git history to remain and have your authorship be clear.

I left it as is. No hooks.
