They started a rewrite-from-scratch of all the apps, including mobile, using a custom in-house server-driven UI framework with a Kotlin DSL backing it, without so much as doing a proof of concept to find the tricky parts first. And by “started” I mean “committed to it” before anyone had so much as written a line of code to spike it out. Which, YMMV, but to me that seemed then, and still seems now, just wild.
- elbear 3y agoYeah. I hope they're at least doing it gradually. As in, rewrite a small component and have it run side by side with the rest of the original app, then rewrite another one and so on.
- shp0ngle 3y agoOh. Well, that sounds horrible, and will definitely take more years than rewriting it to React. It's more FUN though!
