React Native Open Source Update

Have fun with it being abandoned by Google in X years.

Might as well develop natively if it's only good for Android.

Flutter imitates native by rendering everything from scratch, after a few major updates to iOS that's bound to be abandoned.

Some applications especially heavily customized and complex ones profit from consistent UI across platforms.

I created many apps with React-Native that could also be built with web technology and would mostly look and feel the same.

But you're right with Google tech being abandoned; I prefer Revery to Flutter.

I like Revery. It actually seems a bit more approachable than Flutter and it's goals are pretty good (Supporting the Web as a compile target is important nowadays).

But how much more certain is the support for Revery over that for Flutter? What's Outrun's history with large projects? What incentives do they have?

Flutter is also aiming to target the web: https://medium.com/flutter-io/hummingbird-building-flutter-f...

Revery looks really good, but it isn't ready yet.

It has a very similar approach to a React/RN project.

I'd eventually switch over to Revery when/if it's production ready.
