I started using React Native because I'm a React developer and I was tasked with building a mobile app at work, using any technology I choose.
So, naturally I chose React Native.

I hated working on ionic. It was a miserable experience i hope to never repeat. React native using actual native components is far superior.

OMG!!! You were devdactic???
Your blog really helped my Ionic journey back in 2015/2016 even though i later dropped Ionic.
Thanks for your dedication.
Instant sub.

Hope to still see some Ionic/Angular content as well, in particularly when there is something new, as this channel has been a huge help to me in the past.

My two cents on switching: I've used react native back in late 2018 and it was tragic. Then Flutter entered the game and looked very promising. Since than I never worked with native apps professionally, but I kept working with react web, so now I want to take some app projects from the paper and react native is the best choice, since I have a long background with react. But, in the long run, my plan is to migrate to Flutter, that I find it's by far the best performance we can have for hybrid apps

Thanks for making this video! I love both frameworks, but in order to dislike something you must try it first!

[Dayogg]

Thanks! Luckily I moved quickly to Expo after not spending too much time on ionic. Performance is much better.

I don't think flutter is necessarily better than react-native or vice-of-versa (the widget part of flutter is easy to make UI), I use both but i feel react-native has better and robust state management as compared to flutter.

Ionic + Vue is the best for me. The biggest issue with RN is having to write dual code for web and mobile. Time is money and RN takes longer than Vue. Vue with Pinia just makes so much sense and allows me to code things extremely fast.

[vokeolomu]

Love this. Very straight to the point. Will ever choose React Native

[RocckeFella]

Dude we migrated our app from cordova to capcitor just now and now you're leaving ionic, please don't forsake us, your ionic videos really helped us build our application.

[amani_art]

I love react native, i love ionic & capacitor.

Here's how i use both stack in my projects

B2B app >> Ionic: These customers don't care too much about animation and overly performant app. If it works as advertised they're good.

B2C >> React Native: For when i need to build apps with heavy animations. Reanimated makes it so easy we don't have anything in ionic that good unless maybe you use React with framer motion. But then again the animation will suck on low end android device.

Overall have the ability to choose is a great thing for us developers.

Would like to see how to write some native code in Java (Kotlin) or Swift in React Native App - just some component. I've heard Facebook app does it this way. Simple screens are written in React Native and the more advanced screens are written in native code and merged with React Native app.

[eltaller]

I work both but I prefer Angular than RN in some projects... and vice versa!

[licokr]

Thanks for the information. I've subsribed ur channel👍. It assures me to start RN

[denoic]

React Native needs you to be a UI designer of 20 years to create a good looking UI whereas Flutter already has Material 3 (which ionic and RN don't) and it makes the process of creating the UI so much easier even for a newbie.

[umardev]

don't forget to use nativewind the tailwind for rn

[MrAvelino]

Glad to hear you that, cause after release of your first video of rn, i was like, he even made a video saying why he dont use react native. I see yor point, one thing thtat i would like to see here, creating pwa using expo

Hi Simon

My understanding for ionic gives you the benefit to write cross platform application eg: (web, android or IOS), Now am looking forward on react do we have similar benefits with react as well where I can code once and deploy for any platform I am really excited to understand the in depth differences between ionic and react and as far in terms of career perspective should I continue with ionic or react ?
