		K2h on May 2, 2012 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: How LinkedIn built its new iPad app How do you calculated 95% of the app is remote? I am hard pressed to come up with an equation to even start with. local code size vs total code size required to run (where the remainder comes from HTML5 download?)

Sounds like it was calculated by page count:

"Yes, only one screen in the entire LinkedIn iPad app is actually native."

Probably node/Backbone JS KLOC vs. iOS Obj-C KLOC.
