Summary: It was a massive pain and none of the benefits materialized.
Great thing to look forward to for Shopify. Let's meet here again in a year or two for the exit blog post.
- JimDabell 4y agoWhen Shopify announced they were switching to React Native, their CEO posted this on Twitter about AirBnb giving up: https://twitter.com/tobi/status/1222551057798090752 https://twitter.com/tobi/status/1222551057798090752 There are quite a few high profile migrations that end up being reversed, it’s not just Airbnb. Some of them you hear about, like Udacity: https://engineering.udacity.com/react-native-a-retrospective-from-the-mobile-engineering-team-at-udacity-89975d6a8102 https://engineering.udacity.com/react-native-a-retrospective... Some of them you don’t. For instance, Walmart wrote a lot about their switch to React Native here: https://medium.com/walmartglobaltech/a-new-beginning-for-react-native-at-walmartlabs-online-grocery-c30b27db57d3 https://medium.com/walmartglobaltech/a-new-beginning-for-rea... …but I believe they completely reversed course and went 100% native after that.
