viro VS react-native-windows

ViroReact popped up on Hacker New recently. https://github.com/NativeVision/viro

I used https://github.com/ViroCommunity/viro

Hey, that's a great suggestion that I hadn't considered! I'm having a look at Viro to see if it can help with that.

As I said earlier, using react native you can develop for any platform and not limited to mobile. But its not as easy as it sounds like. For desktop apps, React native Windows is used which is maintained by folks at Microsoft, and still in active development, so a lot of things might change. For VR app, ViroReact is used, which is again is in active development. So its development is not as convenient as expo, and for someone new to react native, i won't suggest going that route. But once you are experienced, not one is stopping you and these are great technologies to develop native apps.

I have googled and found a few libraries regarding AR/VR for react native. It seems to me that viro media has: https://github.com/ViroCommunity/viro and looks okay, but it seems that they haven't released anything in a while. I'm trying to create an AR app that is retail focused like this: https://imgur.com/a/tUMgu1W

React Viro (https://virocommunity.github.io/ - the official viromedia one has been discontinued)

The best open source source code I know is: https://github.com/ViroCommunity/viro/blob/main/readmes/EXAMPLES.md It use javascript , react-native and you can compile it with android and ios But you will need to pay the dev license to google and appla you can use Transparent Videos , Text or 3D animations

Check out Viro. I used it a few years ago and it was pretty easy. Not sure on the quality now, but it’s at least worth a look: https://virocommunity.github.io/

Hey there, this library comes to mind for React Native: https://github.com/ViroCommunity/viro

Microsoft is using React Native for Windows [0] for their Office applications [1]. As a fan of RN this would be the first avenue I’d explore if I had to develop something for Windows.

[0] https://microsoft.github.io/react-native-windows/

There's also MAUI (.NET) and React Native desktop.

Sometimes yeah they can become a real pain in the a$$. With RN you can make good looking and dynamic layouts with minimum effort. On the other hand when trying to implement logic my main and continuous issues I am facing is with the async parts . Apart from I am all in for RN . I am going to give it a try for a windows app with https://microsoft.github.io/react-native-windows .And if it works fine (which means you get your self away from C#) it will be a really powerful tool for me .

You can read more about it here: https://microsoft.github.io/react-native-windows/

at Microsoft, it's used a lot for brownfield scenarios, similar to react-native-windows: https://github.com/microsoft/react-native-windows

you sound more like a zealot than someone trying to make a point. you can deploy to desktop with react native and have been able to for years now, courtesy of Microsoft: https://microsoft.github.io/react-native-windows/
