Matcha – A framework for building iOS and Android apps in Go

I just saw a tweet this morning reminding React Native people about three20, the previous Facebook framework that they abandoned.

At least React Native has been around for a while and has a good sized community.

This is a neat little project but I would treat it like a toy unless you were willing to step up and take over maintence before usi it for a production app.

(This wasn’t meant as a stab at React Native, it was meant as a warning about picking up frameworks that don’t have much history. RN is a few years old. I don’t think it will disappear next year).

For those who don't know, Three20 really was two order of magnitude less involving if you decided to use it. It really was just a library of convenient classes that you could choose to use or not, or just part of it.

RN is an entirely different beast...

Thanks, I never heard of Three20, but I use RN for 5 months now.

When I saw the original tweet I hadn’t either and had to Google it.
