Ask HN: React Native on cross-platform production app? Mistake?

2 pointsby icinnamonabout 8 years ago
Our app is currently in Meteor (which has been great for its cross-platform (iOS, Web, Android) and hot code push capabilities). However, we are running into performance&#x2F;UX&#x2F;scaling issues and want to switch frameworks.<p>We are debating going native on all 3 platforms or using React Native. React Native has the hot code push and cross-platform advantages, but is it ready for prime-time? This is a production app with thousands of concurrents. The UX and performance is key. Our engineering team has both iOS&#x2F;Android and JS experience (but no RN experience). Thanks!

There was an excellent talk at ReactConf 2017 about &quot;React Native in the &#x27;Brown Field&#x27; &quot;, by Leland Richardson of AirBNB. Definitely worth watching: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=tWitQoPgs8w&amp;list=PLb0IAmt7-GS3fZ46IGFirdqKTIxlws7e0&amp;index=15" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=tWitQoPgs8w&amp;list=PLb0IAmt7-G...</a> . Also a few other RN-related talks elsewhere in the conference playlist as well.
