I am yet to start on mobile development. There is a concern in the industry about writing same app 2,3 or more times - ios, android, windows etc.
React native seems to be a step in the right direction. There are lot of options for this track besides react like ionic, phoneGap, appcelerator, telerik, meteor and there are few more.
What you recommend out of these platforms for someone who is just getting started with mobile development? Thx
- findjashua 12y agoreact native is better compared to appcelerator titanium - their thesis is that due to the dom's limitations, hybrid apps currently can't compete with native (compare scrolling quickly in a web vs native app), so compiling to native components is the way to go phonegap, ionic, meteor etc are in the hybrid app camp, and their take is that if your app doesn't need to have native like performance, then just write one app and deploy on multiple platform I personally think react native is an intermediate step to the eventual goal. I'm a supporter of the open web, hopefully we'll figure out a way around dom's limitations, and hybrid apps will be able to match performance of their native counterparts.
- doublerebel 12y agoReact is pretty good, the most promising in a while, but Appcelerator still has far more API coverage on both major platforms than React, Telerik, or anyone else. Pay special attention to what kind of native integrations the app will require before choosing a framework.
- neovive 12y agoIf you have experience with AngularJS, Ionic is a great option. Ionic v2 is in the works and will be built on Angular 2. The UI is built on Sass and it's very polished with a very talented and motivated team behind it. Ionic has it's own toolset that integrates with Cordova.
