You mean, you do that? I don't get it otherwise.

Native is hard, React needed years to get it even nearly right, and it did that with the community's backing. At this point RN features dozens of renderers outside of the mobile space, with some of them made by the very vendors that sell their platforms (for instance Microsofts react-native-windows).

A couple of them here: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DUF19IlXcAE2UC6.jpg:large

Can't imagine why anyone would willingly want to wait another 4-5 years until Weex is where RN is today.

You mind sharing the list on https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DUF19IlXcAE2UC6.jpg:large ?

It also irks me that that list was shared as an image. For me, it's just an inconvenience. For others, it's an accessibility problem, at least until OCR is 100% accurate.

Anyway, here's the list (I tested all the URLs):

/s? React Native seems to be the only alternative to native apps as of today. Googles Flutter might be a viable alternative if they don't drop it, but it's far from production ready..
