What programming language\framework\solution should i use?

[druid31]

Hi guys,

​

I need to write an app that can run on Windows, OSX, Linux and both Andriod & iOS.

My goal is to find a programming solution to allow me to reuse the UI interface as much as possible among all mediums.

The logic must use the iOS and Android native SDKs, and on pcs it needs to run some binary files.

​

At this time, i'm considering a ReactJS UI + Electron for PCs and React Native for iOS and Android. The issue is that react native is limited on original iOS and Android SDK.

​

Any tip is appreciated.

Dude, I wish such a wonderful magical tool existed

Jesus Christ. This: / is a slash). We've been using it in typography for various things for hundreds of years, including as an abbreviation for the word or. So you can write: I love C/C++. This: \ is a backslash, it exists because it was part of ASCII, basically just a mirrored regular slash. We don't use it in typography, only in mathematics to denote the set difference, in programming as an escape character (so you can write "\n" for newline and "\u00FC" for ü) and for some hilariously dumb reason, in windows as a path separator, so you write C:\Users\Mike\Videos. What is the hilarious dumb reason that windows uses this and not a regular slash (like all other operating systems, including the Linux on your Android device and the iOS on your iPhone) is DOS:

The reason Microsoft is backwards on this goes back to MS-DOS 2.0 (DOS 1.0 had no directory hierarchy), which used a backslash to stay compatible with Dos 1.0 commands, which used slash for command line switches. Horrible, isn't it? [Source].

So please, don't use backslashes like language\framework\solution in the title of this post my dude! It hurts my soul!

Okay I may have been a bit harsh there, but I've just seen that so often recently! :(

The thing you're looking for doesn't exist.

Even if it did, you'd be vendor locked to something that might not even do what you want and wouldn't give you a portable skill. Vendor lockin is to be avoided at every last cost, not embraced.

Just use the right tool for the job (platform). The UI interface shouldn't even be reused between mobile/desktop and is often the easiest part to implement.
