React Native - A native love story

on YouTube ↗41m

" summary

Claims a production app called who cares runs entirely in React Native on iOS and Android with about 95% code sharing and cites ~323,000 active GitHub repos for JavaScript. Explains the real mechanics: a bridge batching serialized UI commands across JavaScriptCore on iOS (three threads: JS, shadow/layout, main render) to avoid bridge stalls, and shows how to write native modules, UI components, callbacks and promises. Notes practical limits: bridge bandwidth causes slowdowns, listviews and startup time can suffer, and native wrappers remain necessary.
