Proton Native – React Native for the desktop

I mean, do you realize that most of the big names on that list have a hybrid solution where they prove concepts, A/B test, and rapidly iterate-on/release new features using React Native, and then they have a native dev team for each platform that goes back and re-implements most of the core features natively?

Discord is the most impressive one to me. They definitely didn't have those resources when they wrote their iOS app[0].

The Android version is just RxJava, iirc, because of some performance issues they couldn't get around.

At that time when they released, the React Native Android was probably still in a kind of beta state.

RN Android still feels like beta.

How so? I run into the occasional hiccup an iOS and Android, but overall both have been pretty smooth for me.

That’s correct. AirBnB’s iOS app is written mostly in Swift. And Facebook’s iOS app is a piece of shit performance wise.
