Breaking news
Computer Scientists over at Stanford have discovered that web apps are inherently slow as fuck. Studies show that if your software projects' are performance critical, you should definitely avoid that many layers of GUI complexity and memory consumption.
- Bootwizard 7y agoSo is building native mobile a better experience as far as response time is concerned?
- mastrsushi 7y agoI think React Native is a great solution for small developers because they reduce the man power required for cross compatibility. To answer your question, it depends on the type of response time you're asking. If you mean simply button click event fire type responses, then yes native app development is superior. But like I stated if you wa t your app to be truly write once run anywhere, JS web apps are the way to go.....these days at least. That being said, I only had one go at React and another brief stint with Android app development. I found them both to be complete messes. Maybe I'm so used to my last job doing C# Winforms, but I haven't found a more comfortable experience.

Compared to our executable predecessor it even boots up faster after first run. We’ve focussed a lot on making it performant and get emails from customers telling us they forget they are using a web app. Web apps don’t have to be “slow as fudge”!
