This is interesting, definitely. One thing people should be aware of if they're new to the React Native environment is that this technology comes built in. It is a big reason why React Native is such a huge success so far. You don't need an IDE and switching to one instead of using your own tools seems like a pretty big negative to me.

Yes, for sure, a lot of the awesomeness is built into React Native. That's why we love it. Some developers will prefer an IDE, some will prefer the workflow you mentioned, and some will make their own. :)

I did look at his repo and it's respectable. Putting aside the personality issues the way we do with Terry Davis (TempleOS) I'd like to hear his complaints about this.

It looks like he's having a mental break down.

Bad day I guess...

Since Android 2.3, I haven't had much trouble sharing code across versions.

Performance is the major problem. Getting the code to run isn't really an issue anymore.

Interesting, for fun, can you share a story where changing Android versions resulted in a performance regression?

My problems were limited to bugs in the OGL Java wrapper in Android 2.x.

>It is a big reason why React Native is such a huge success so far. You don't need an IDE... Sorry if this a stupid question, but is this true if one is also targeting electron for the 'big 3' desktops for the HN crowd (rather than just mobile OSs)? Edit: Clarifications made.

React Native is a platform for building _native_ iOS and Android apps (with no DOM (HTML or CSS)). Electron is about web apps for the desktop. Different things.

I cannot. However the performance of the apps on my colleagues' phones serves as enecdotal evidence IMO.

This is great! Helps a ton for someone new to react native, lowers the already low barrier to entry. Integration with microsoft code push ( https://github.com/Microsoft/react-native-code-push ) could be cool.

We (the CodePush team) would love to discuss what that kind of integration might look like :)
