Rewriting a Large Hybrid App with React Native
summary
Gudog reimplements a large Ionic/Cordova app in React Native and reports what actually changes: uses Ignite, redux, redux‑saga and normalizr end to end, builds a custom date picker handling single date range and multiple nonconsecutive days and releases it as open source, switches navigation to react‑navigation, wires CodePush, Lottie and Socket.IO, and regrets using ListView over VirtualizedList. Timeline detail matters: 6‑week Ionic prototype versus months of React Native work and not yet in users’ hands.
