it's interesting to see the react-native detractors in this thread vs an Ask HN thread we had about react-native a couple of weeks ago. I wonder how many people could really determine an app's usage of RN in a blind taste test. could the disdain for js the language and bad memories of wrapped webviews be bleeding over? in our experience RN has offered a ton of leverage for a small team, and js makes a fine target to transpile to (we use cljs).
- qmarchi 9y agoFrom the testing we've done internally, not much difference between React Native, Xamarin, Native and Cordova. Was it scientific? Nope. But most couldn't tell.
- jjeaff 9y agoWe are in the process of rebuilding our app in react native. As a test, we created a portion of it in react native and did a side by side. Our app is your basic slide out navigation with pages and forms and some animation. There is literally no detectable difference. The only thing that I am still not sure of is performance on older devices. But on iPhone 6 and Galaxy S7... I wish we had started with react native from the beginning.
