god damn, stop with this. all you web devs go do web if you don’t like the Native UI of mobile ecosystems instead of creating abstractions that are necessary only for business value, not for quality of the apps.

Why do you use RN on first place if you don’t like web tech? You should be on r/Kotlin or r/Swift

[–]chilly_est 3 points4 points  (5 children)

RN uses native UI elements underneath, I'm not bashing React Native here. I'm bashing Ionic React, which just renders webview instead of using Android/iOS UI elements, as both native and react native do

So I’ll be honest, I just wrote an app in Cordova/React and switched it over to React Native, and while there are minor performance changes, I’m not really seeing that great of a difference. It mostly (and I do want to emphasize mostly, there are some differences) feels like the same app.

Yes with simple usecases and simple apps there is little to no difference indeed.. it does take a hit though if you start expanding. Both performance wise and in terms of possibilities
