To add to the good responses by the others, React Native development, on a good day, feels like the best of web dev and native dev (reload to see the change, `yarn add <package> && react-native link` to add a new NPM package, run the app on devices while debugging with Chrome dev tool). On a bad day, it feels like the ultimate force unification from the worst of both worlds (nothing ever stays stable, ever; were you expecting the app reload to work every time? hah!; running the debugger makes the app crawl, even on recent devices; some packages require you to do lots of stuff for post-install configuration; upgrading RN version will fix some issues but you'll lose half day trying to resolve conflicts between RN and your code and RN and the dependent packages -- then you might get some issues that are unique to the new version of RN; CSS styling -- can cut both ways) In my particular case, being a solo dev with web background, RN is the only sane option to make an app in Android and iOS in reasonable time. I'd say it can be a good tech choice, if you plan to focus your work on platforms that React API and ecosystem touch (mobile and web, maybe not desktop). EDIT: Some grammar cleanup and the bit about styling. |
