> What are you building with RN at airbnb?

Various flows in the Airbnb app are built with React Native. Our recently launched "Experiences" platform is built mostly with React Native, and there are many flows in the app that are built with React Native. Overall it's probably about 10-20% of the app right now. The decision to use or not use React Native for a new feature is a function of what the team building the feature is familiar with, and whether or not we think we can deliver a good user experience with the technology or not. The answers to those questions are quickly evolving though as we build up more infrastructure around React Native, and as the familiarity with the platform grows.

> What has been your experience?

Generally positive, but the difficulty of integrating React Native into an existing mobile app with large existing native code bases should not be understated. It's not plug and play. I'm giving a talk about this in detail at React Conf in March. Make sure to check it out!

> If you were starting a mobile company now, would you start with RN ?

Yes.

Keep in mind that I was the main proponent of React Native being experimented with and adopted at Airbnb. As a result, I have some bias and other people at Airbnb might have different feelings / experiences.
