Supercharging your React Native app for Windows

on YouTube ↗24m

" summary

React Native for Windows shows concrete results: a note‑taking desktop app is scaffolded with the React Native CLI, reuses web JavaScript with minor style swaps, and hot reloads while running; Windows APIs are called either via React Native WinRT or by adding native modules, and embedding React views into WinUI (aka brownfield development) works reliably; Microsoft reports seven billion views of React Native powered UI monthly and Be My Eyes prototypes desktop in under a month.
