Sunsetting React Native (2018)
- eternityforest 4y agoDo users actually want native look and feel all that much? Most apps these days seem to have a lot of their own styling as a mark of distinction, and having an app look the same on all platforms is also nice. React Native seems like a really unnecessary extra layer compared to just running real HTML. It seems like it's about time to just have first-class web tech applications on all the major OSes. The performance might even improve compared to native, because a single browser tab is lighter than many native apps, and there's no reason every app needs to stuff it's own browser in there. Getting rid of RN seems like a pretty good way to go.
