Ask HN: Is it worth diving deep into React Native?

1 pointsby kalyantmover 2 years ago
I&#x27;ve been using React Native professionally for about a year now, and I work at a startup. I think it&#x27;s a good tool to get something out quickly for both platforms, especially when the app is relatively simple (think a heavy CRUD app) I&#x27;ve reached a point where I&#x27;m considering if it&#x27;s worth spending time digging deeper and learning more about React Native (especially with the new architecture and fabric) or just diving into native app development For example, I see more and more companies move away from frameworks like React Native and just go the native route once the app is sufficiently large&#x2F;complex I&#x27;ve seen experienced engineers tweet around the same (RN is good when you need to prototype and get something out fast, but when you have a big enough user base and a solid, verified product, you will inevitably bite the bullet and switch to native)<p>So the question is basically around the tradeoff - is it worth spending more time and mastering React Native, or just accept the fact that bigger companies and refined products prefer native apps and spend my energy there? I feel like most job postings that use RN are also smaller companies&#x2F;startups, so I&#x27;m thinking if this will limit my professional opportunities in the future as well?
