I'm not sure its fair to say that they are "ditching" native dev. React native works well for some flows, but is still lacking when it comes to a lot of more complex animations, non-standard views and basically most things that make you really go "wow." Those companies are using it where appropriate, but large portions of the apps are still native.

Fair enough (pun intended). But for the majority of startups, I'd still wager they don't need those premature 'wow' effects.

  I would argue that in some cases (certainly not all), a little bit of strategically placed "wow" may be vital for some startups to grow - small things that make users love a product and show others. The vast majority of users will not sympathize with the reasons a developer would choose to use something like a web view in a native app.

  I was going to focus on ReactNative my the more I read about the more I realized I am better off native, at least for now. Exactly because I do a lot of animations and I am all about interaction. If your product looks bad or "dated" it's not going to connect with users, not in the aread I am focusing on. If your product is about that extra pop, then I think Native might be best.

    Ladies and getlemen please lend me your audience, I want to talk about something that I am just very excited about; We had a small restaurant and in my apartment I had a bad credit. It became very though for us, because people do not want to loan; banks and other financial institution do not want to loan money to us because of my bad credit. So I needed to find someone that was very linient and also could pay really quick to us, so we wanted to add on to our restaurant in otherwords we needed an $80,000 loan which was really difficult at that time. So a friend of mine 'Sarah William' said checkout: tenterdenfundsplc@yahoo.com and i was like okay.. thou I didn't believe because I already lost $4,300 to scams and she said' just email or call/ text: +18027369174 and they will get back to you quick, I did exactly as she said. that day I got a response, the next day I got funded, it was that fast. I was blown away and I couldnt believe how quick it was, this guys are really fast. anyways thank you guys at Tenterden Funding Plc. I couldt have done it without you, thank you for saving us the hassle. And I just want you guys to know that you can contact them aswell if you are having issues regarding finance

I'm a long term native developer who's been doing react native contacting for the past 6 months. One big issue that you run into is if you need to do long running background tasks (network polling, bluetooth, music, etc) you basically need to write native code to handle it. Complex animations and non standard view's aren't that bad to implement.

  Just about to implement react native app with network polling. Do you have any links/tips to share re best practices?
  - htormey 10y ago
    If you are just doing polling when your app is in the foreground, you should not have to write any native code. All of the polling can be handled in your actions. If you need to poll in the background when the phones screen is locked, then you will need to write native code. Writing native code to do this isn't that hard (react native docs are good), it's just annoying that you will have duplicate business logic for Android/iOS.
