echoppe's Issues

Mobile Application

I am going with React Native but I am not sure whether to go with Expo and React Native.

Expo is convenient but idk if that's even a good reason to use it.
I am not using Expo for Web and/or React Native Web because it was more of hassle than a convenient in my opinion trying to mash three platform especially web and mobile together in the UI side and development experience.

Here is my requirements:

• - Support Libraries I might want to use or support good enough libraries
• - Some minimal platform specific code
• - Actually works and didn't die 12 seconds in

Choosing Expo

Gives:

• Over the air updates
• EAS Build
• Easy packaging
• Probably wouldn't die 12 seconds in
• Better CLI and Toolings

Loses:

• Platform specific code (at least not as clean)
• Weird libraries confusion (which work which doesn't)
• Some other unknown limitations
• Cannot use it in a hybrid fashion

Choosing React Native

Gives:

• Platform Specific Code
• Latest versions of everything
• Probably better for jobs (idk)
• Most if not all libraries will work
• Hybrid fashion
• Smaller bundle size

Loses:

• Convenient may reduce slightly to severely
• Might die for unknown reasons
• Harder to configure to begin with
• No fancy builds etc.
• App Store Updates only (i think)
