What’s the point of React Native when things like Ionic exist (webview adapter for React)? I’ve been using RN for years but just realized the JS engine doesn’t have JIT so will be way slower than the alternative I just mentioned (which seems to have similar bridge functionality and all the WebWhatever APIs since it’s a web view)

I’m new to React Native but I think the main benefit is that it can make a native app instead of just a web view. You can have transitions between screens and use native menus, for example.

Take a look at the 3 videos here: https://solito.dev

Solito is a thin wrapper around React Native and next.js so make it easier to share as much code as possible between the website and the native apps but still have the apps actually behave like native apps.
