Hope to still see some Ionic/Angular content as well, in particularly when there is something new, as this channel has been a huge help to me in the past.

Thanks for making this video! I love both frameworks, but in order to dislike something you must try it first!

I started using React Native because I'm a React developer and I was tasked with building a mobile app at work, using any technology I choose. So, naturally I chose React Native.

I hated working on ionic. It was a miserable experience i hope to never repeat. React native using actual native components is far superior.

I work both but I prefer Angular than RN in some projects... and vice versa!

Thanks! Luckily I moved quickly to Expo after not spending too much time on ionic. Performance is much better.

Hi Simon My understanding for ionic gives you the benefit to write cross platform application eg: (web, android or IOS), Now am looking forward on react do we have similar benefits with react as well where I can code once and deploy for any platform I am really excited to understand the in depth differences between ionic and react and as far in terms of career perspective should I continue with ionic or react ?

Can you please make a video on how to make a reorderable/sortable/draggable flatlist in react native similar to a organisable queue in music player app. I've surfed the web but couldn't find anything performant.

Dude we migrated our app from cordova to capcitor just now and now you're leaving ionic, please don't forsake us, your ionic videos really helped us build our application.

Would like to see how to write some native code in Java (Kotlin) or Swift in React Native App - just some component. I've heard Facebook app does it this way. Simple screens are written in React Native and the more advanced screens are written in native code and merged with React Native app.
