I've always worked in relatively large companies, and I've led several mobile teams. I've always ALWAYS been a native mobile purist. I had iOS people writing Obj-C and Swift, I had Android people writing Kotlin/Java. I had budget to have at least 2 of each and things moved along.
Now I find myself a CTO of a startup where mobile is less crucial (we're building an issue tracker to take on Jira/Trello/etc) and I don't have a big budget anymore. I need to seriously consider something like RN or Flutter.
Anyone else been in this situation where picking a cross-platform toolkit is not a matter of trend or religion but rather one of necessity? Any learnings to share?
- ranci 6y agoIs there even any evidence that RN or Flutter are better for smaller budgets? Like actual data that doesn't live in the mind of a RN/Flutter enthusiast?
- kevsim 6y agoThat’s a very good question. The reality may be that if one cannot afford at least one native iOS dev and one native android dev (given the size of the app that person could share other duties) then one is not in a place to launch a mobile app
