From the article:
> We can be almost certain that React & React Native are a competitive advantage. We can see evidence in how Facebook simultaneously launched Snapchat-like “Stories” across four applications (WhatsApp, Messenger, Facebook, and Instagram) in its product suite.

Is there any actual evidence that React / React Native was used to build the Stories feature for any of these apps?
- chrisco255 9y agoNo. And it's a fair point. I might be reaching a bit. But I do think Facebook sees real productivity gains from using React Native in production and those gains benefit their velocity as a whole.
