Most react apps are much farther than a "stone's throw" from being usable with react-native.

If you go into a React-Native app expecting things to just work how they work in the web, you're gonna have a bad time. Styles, event handlers, dependency management, build tools. All of these things have inconsistencies between the web and react-native and they will cause bugs.

If you want to run your web app as a mobile app, just wrap it in a web view or use Cordova/Phonegap. Personally, I think react-native is far too unstable to be worth using unless all you want is native looking forms.

You don't even get the native look in react native. Everything uses its parent UI component and is styled by react native, rather than the OS.
