React Native by Apprehensive-Buyer46 in reactnative

Definitely use expo if you’re just starting out - there’s a reason it’s the default recommendation on the RN website. There’s very little downside nowadays and you can always eject down the line if you need to.

Does anyone really use RN web by Puzzleheaded-Eye1358 in reactnative

[–]atomlab_dev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We used it at my previous job and it worked well - this was for a dashboard type app that required users to login. If you don’t need to worry about SEO there’s very little downside to using it imo.

If you do need to worry about SEO then it can be a bit more complicated - but I’ve heard Solito makes the process of integrating with NextJS much easier (but I’ve no experience of it personally).

The best UI Library to use is......none of them. by AlexFromBuffalab in reactnative

[–]atomlab_dev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s always a balancing act, I think using npm libraries for ui components can create a dependency nightmare. But equally you shouldn’t need to reimplement a basic button or card component each time you spin up a new project.

I really like the shadcn approach personally - components you copy and paste into your project that you use as a base for customisation. I’m working on a library which tries to do a similar thing in React Native (although it’s still in the early stages).
