what is the added value versus just use expo directly?
Also has anyone compared React Native with just React and Ionic/Capacitor, and probably https://capacitor.nativescript.org https://capacitor.nativescript.org ?
I used to follow this space a couple of years ago and just recently found out apparently you can use NativeScript (js to native API bridge) in Cordova (Capacitor).
- redbar0n 2y agoThe added value is crossplatform compatibility with SSR, and HMR, all using Vite as the single bundler on all platforms. They baked in their vxrn.dev project to get off of Metro and forked Expo Router to do that. Since Expo Web has a large bundle size, requires NextJS for SSR, Solito for unified filesystem routing, and 2 bundlers: Metro as a bundler on RN plus a separate bundler like Webpack or whatnot for web. Btw, here is a good React Native, Capacitor, NativeScript etc. overview: https://magnemg.eu/the-different-tech-strategies-for-building-a-cross-platform-app https://magnemg.eu/the-different-tech-strategies-for-buildin...
- nsonha 2y agothank you, the thing about metro bundler seem like it could make react-native less exotic and that article is really comprehensive
