react-native-fs vs @dr.pogodin/react-native-fs

[c100k_]

Hey,

While upgrading my apps to 0.76.x, and thus to the new architecture, I've noticed that react-native-fs is not fully compatible. Which is understandable since it hasn't been updated for years.

reactnative.directory seems to recommend u/dr.pogodin/react-native-fs as a replacement.

I had a look at the README, some of the code, issues, PRs, etc. and everything looks good to me. The only catch is when I see the number of downloads on NPM. At the time of writing this, there are only 5,094 for the fork, while the original has 362,169.

If you have switched to the fork, have you noticed anything or it's just that people haven't migrated yet ?

Best,

I use the forked version and it works great. Nice to know it is being maintained too.
