React Native Retrospective

on YouTube ↗26m

" summary

React Native launches January 2015 with a bold claim: JavaScript + React yields native-level performance across platforms. Early adopters share code on flash drives, build a functioning flash card app in 2 days using live reloads, and by September Android support ships (notably Android support Sept 14), letting teams hit production and report faster feature shipping. By April ports target Windows and Samsung devices and docs, tooling, and APIs steadily stabilize.
