Building all of our new mobile apps using React Native

Apps are dominant on web because, well, the web sucks. We can gloss over this on desktop because of raw processing power but still, layout if html is just plain terrible.

Of course mobile processors will continue to improve but on mobile you’re making a trade off between performance and battery life and battery life will probably never be not a concern.

The mobile web sucks because of ads and bloated websites not because some inherent technological flaw.

And because of the "separate sites" approach to mobile web development. Good for some media-focused applications, but usually the separate mobile site has an oversimplified interface that can't be zoomed in or out.
