Maybe nitpicking, but the author states that "Your codebase can now create an app that can run on millions of additional devices, and you’ve increased your outreach by several orders of magnitude."
Yeah, Android is growing, but iOS still has substantial market share. Switching to React Native will definitely not give a > 100x increase in outreach.
- striking 10y agoThe Android market share is >60% and rising, though. Not sure what you're talking about. https://bgr.com/2016/06/02/apples-mobile-market-share-sees-big-drop-in-may-as-android-skyrockets/ https://bgr.com/2016/06/02/apples-mobile-market-share-sees-b... You're right about the last part, though. You won't literally get a 100x increase in reach from just switching to React Native. Being able to develop on two platforms at once might help a little bit there, though, which is what I think the author was trying to say.
- Legogris 10y agoThe nitpick being that usually, one order of magnitude = 10x, two orders of magnitude = 100x, and so on. So it's a very exaggerated statement if taken at face value.
