New project with future need for a Windows Phone / Windows App Store application

Question

Hi,

We are starting a new project which will be first a web app.  We are planning on using AngularJS/Bootstrap with a REST endpoint (to be decided).  

After, we wants to add a Windows Store App and a Windows Phone application.  Can the AngularJS code be used with WinJS to have a native look and feel?  We are trying to choose the best framework to get the job done, without the need to rewrite to whole application, trying to reuse as much code as possible.

Any hint or links with some good reading regarding this?

Also, if you have suggestion for another Framework which can be used for WebApp + Mobile + Window Store App development, I'm listening.

The project is not started yet, so we have the choice to choose what suits the best instead of trying to fit everything after.  We would prefer JavaScript since we have deeper knowledge of this language.

Thanks, appreciated.

Hi Elezium38,

I think someone contribute a lot to make AngularJS work together with WinJS: https://github.com/codemonkeychris/angular-winjs

Also Bootstrap looks fine:
