could you elaborate on what poor decisions rn allows you to make over native ios/android?

• jbob2000 11y ago
  With Native ios/android, you get a selection of UI components to use. If your designs don't fit any of those components, you either have to build something from scratch or alter to the design to fit the Native UI language. Usually the prospect of 'building from scratch' is enough to deter people from building components that don't fit the device's interface. So you generally end up with apps that all fit the native design language. With React-Native, it's really easy to be lazy. If you want to be on Android, but you don't want to change your designs to fit Android's UI standards, screw it, just write a wrapper around some of the iOS components and call it a day.

    so rn makes it easy to create components that may not fit in the platform's UI standards?

      Yes. But it also makes it easy to create components that do fit the platform, thus "the issue is the developer."
