What do you think of React Native in this regard?

daniellarusso • Apr 30, 2021 • View on HN

So, is this akin to using React native instead of writing native iOS and Android apps?

Pako • Dec 31, 2018 • View on HN

This isn't strictly related to React Native but have you considered using Flutter? IIRC it compiles to a "native" iOS app instead of doing this weird JS stuff React does.

Seconded. Also Reactive Native please.

troygoode • Jan 4, 2019 • View on HN

React Native gives you the best of both

arisAlexis • Jan 20, 2019 • View on HN

mattpearl • Apr 24, 2020 • View on HN

React Native may have won some battles but not yet the war ;]

wg0 • Dec 22, 2024 • View on HN

Why they wouldn't use React Native?

nwithan8 • Jul 26, 2023 • View on HN

That just sounds like React Native with extra steps.

React Native is certainly not done.
