I'm trying RN now and I must say that for an outsider its very underwhelming, because one might expect more stuff to just work out of the box (surprises the last few minutes: back button not always handled, material design is a plugin, authentication doesn't have an example, etc).
- raspasov 10y agoI disagree. From 0 to production, it took me 1 month. I had never done a mobile app before. Granted, I did have React experience on the web - that certainly helps. I agree that the documentation can be better. My advice is - either contribute, or read the code. You'd be surprised how well commented and documented the code itself is. Handling things like authentication would be falling into the trap of doing too much. A UI library/framework is an orthogonal concept to handling user registration or authentication. Material design? Let's say I don't like material design - then it'll be just extra baggage.
- swah 10y agoThanks for the heads up - I'll continue investigating. I'm thinking about my fav. Android apps (No iPhone since 3gs here) and really, some are material (say Recurrence, Gmail) and most are not (Waze, Pocketcasts..).
