Ionic 2: Alpha

Ionic 2 is the next generation of Ionic, the open-source mobile app development SDK that makes it easy to build top quality mobile apps with web technologies.

Ionic 2 is based on the new 2.x version of AngularJS, and comes with many significant performance, usability, and feature improvements.
