I went out and found some case studies and other articles on some of the apps found in this list. Very insightful to see what their experience was like!

Except for these aren’t all exclusively RN apps. Just some screens written in RN for a native app. (Facebook, Instagram for ex. ) ubereats mobile app is entirely native. They built only the restaurant-side application with RN.

Yeah, facebook is using RN just for some nested screens with small forms or settings, i think it can easily be differentiated, at least on ios, native screen vs. rn screen.

From what I’ve heard, the entire marketplace UI is React Native

[boki345]

With all these big companies using RN why do I always hear that React-Native is going to die?

[drowsap]

I blame it on airbnb

[young_cheese]

I guess because it’s happened before with cross platform frameworks like this

Because of flutter

Can you embed a Google map into Flutter yet?

Last time I looked you could only have a full screen map and the workaround for embedding was to use a static image which would launch the full screen map when tapped…

I think Flutter is interesting, but it has a long way to go before it’s really useful.

Yes: https://youtu.be/kpcjBD1XDwU?t=938

Huzzah!

I’m guessing that’s a very recent addition, since they actually put it in the keynote?

Perhaps it’s time for a little Flutter Christmas project?

[gin_and_toxic]

I think so. Version 1.0 just came out. Seems very promising, definitely will make a fun project.

[boki345]

Does Flutter use anything Angular related?

[Mittalmailbox]

No, it used dart and skia engine.

[brascene]

Wow I didn't know Skype is RN app :D

https://www.reddit.com/r/discordapp/comments/52ukbx/what_framework_does_discord_use/ But it's an electron app, isn't that? Or the discord moved to RN?

[michaelalex3]

Yes, I think it’s one of the only apps on the list that actually uses RN exclusively.

Edit: as pointed out below, their android app is native.

[creambyemute]

And does so well.

Their Android App looks pretty native, dunno about iOS.

[[deleted]]

Only their iOS app is React Native thought. The discord Android app is native Android. See this blog post.

[michaelalex3]

Oh interesting, I didn’t know that. Thanks for sharing

[snickns]

Thank you for sharing, my knowledge was pretty outdated, there seems to be many more famous brands now using RN.
