For several years now, React Native has been a hot topic in the mobile development world. No wonder – it took the tech world by storm by offering a way to develop mobile apps for both iOS and Android simultaneously. 

A few years back, hybrid apps built with Ionic, Cordova or PhoneGap were a perfect and cost-effective alternative to native development. However, with technology moving forward, they might not meet users’ expectations anymore. React Native is a good alternative that can save your app from going under.

The first time we saw that we could use React, our go-to front-end library, for building native applications, we were thrilled. The promise of learning React’s paradigm and writing applications for the most common platforms was so exciting that we decided to give React Native a shot.

Still on the fence about choosing React Native as the framework for your next mobile app? We’ve got you covered. We selected and answered the most common questions that pop up when people consider using React Native in a project. We hope this short guide will make things much clearer.

Choosing the right technology for your mobile app is a key decision that will determine the success of your endeavour.

Choosing the right technology for your startup is a daunting task. The decision is even harder if you’re thinking of developing a mobile application – not only do you have to pick a suitable tech stack for your business logic, but you also need to consider platforms for your target group (Android or iOS). Luckily, React Native is here – it’s a cross-platform framework that can help you kill two birds with one stone.

React Native has been hailed as the next big thing in mobile app development. It has been praised for its ease of learning (compared to platforms native to Android and iOS) and for serious advantages over established hybrid tools like e.g. Ionic, Cordova or Phone Gap.

React Native: an open source JavaScript code library developed and maintained by Facebook and Instagram (plus a thriving development community), which allows developers to build mobile apps using only JavaScript. It has been around for a couple of years already.

What is a Design System? Generally speaking, a design system is kind of a guide. It helps development/design teams build products which are consistent in terms of appearance.
