It’s gone and for the better. The tipping point was the Airbnb blogpost.
- yycfoofoo 8y agolol. our team over here will be multitudes more productive than yours with react-native, so thanks for the leg up.
- notsrg 8y agoIf you actually read the full blog you'll realize it'll actually convince the right people to either adopt or avoid RN: >The path of a world that is 100% native or 100% React Native is relatively straightforward. but ultimately... hybrid apps are hard. Airbnb had a ton of infrastructure that needed porting over to RN that often required contributing upstream to fix issues they found. If you're starting from scratch you can get pretty far sticking to React/JS. imo I can't imagine a startup using anything other than RN (or react-native-web) because of how quickly you can build things.
- xenospn 8y agoI built my startup using Ionic/Cordova (since certain APIs weren't available on RN). Now that iOS 12.2 beta is out, it is breaking certain APIs and leaving me no choice but to abandon the hybrid model. If anyone else out there is planning on doing anything other than a simple photo sharing/PWA app, don't bother with hybrid - you'll have to go Native at some point.
- ryanbertrand 8y agoCan you expand on the APIs that broke for you?
- turbo_fart_box 8y agoThat's is just not true.
