(No, not rest api vs…)
Every time I think I’m getting convinced that they just can’t match native apps, I get sucked back in! I feel the need to track what m$ is doing with the xamarin stuff and from a different angle (cross platform with ios too) this React Native would be so nice and convenient, it can’t be, can it?
React Native: a year in review
some comments
notes from the original article:
- more evangelism than post mortem-ish
- “The API surface area of React Native is huge. It exposes most of the building blocks of iOS and Android apps to JavaScript, while adding cross-platform abstractions. It would be challenging for any single person to be closely familiar with all the APIs”
- 107 apps created with it
some comments that piqued my interest (some of the criticisms had a shelflife i’m sure):
- gesture handling
- live reload
- permissions questionable - sms read, nfc, gps
- try it out in the browser
- no css
