- chipotle_coyote 7y agoI'm hoping more people will read this headline and at least take away that RN/Flutter/Electron should be approached with caution and care rather than "slap it in an Electron shell and it'll run great everywhere and everyone will love it," which is the implicit attitude that makes so many people, uh, not love it.
- LeoNatan25 7y agoThat’s a perfectly legitimate conclusion to make, especially with the examples you mentioned.
- K0nserv 7y agoReact Native, Flutter, and Electron have a lot of problems in between them. They are fairly good cross platform solutions, whether cross platform UI is actually a good idea is much more dubious, I lean towards no it's not. I'm more excited about leveraging native platform UI with shared code in a common language like Rust. C++ as described in the blog is problematic for this.
