React Native doesn't build the best apps, but I would choose it over building 2 apps with Swift/Kotlin for iOS/Android store.

I feel like developer experience is severely underrated. The power of having a single codebase way outweights any performance or size costs you add imo. Especially in 2020 when everyone is dropping support for any device more than 10 years old.

One of the better 30 second intros I´ve seen on Youtube. Well done.

I just found this channel and it’s my favorite now.

What I’ve been hearing that interests me is companies making apps that are native but utilize React Native for specific views (like a profile view, or a view that fetches and displays rows of data). I believe I read that Airbnb is one of the proponents of this approach.

I think that native development should be done just to know what react native is abstracting, but I feel like in a year react native will be able to create apps that can contend with native development

I’m a WET programmer. It’s so much easier.

thanks for that, I share your opinion, I think many developers are also just missing the business side of code and digital tech in general - just beeing able to move to the market faster with a smaller team and a shared codebase enables organizations to stay more flexible, especially in highly uncertain market environments, which is a huge benefit for me from a business innovation and transformation perspective.

Thanks so much for this video, as a beginner of web/app dev, it's really helpful to understand if React is a good choice if one person wants to build for both web/ios/android.

This introduction had me rolling 😂 Great video! 🔥

4:11 this totally opened my eyes to why I absolutely need to use React and React Native for my personal project. This alone saves so much time and work for solo devs.

The first part gave me enough motivation to continue watching.

Probably worth revisiting now that Flutter for web is production ready.
