    ViroReact: The AR and VR library for React Native ๐Ÿ“ณ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿค๐Ÿ’š (by NativeVision)

  • 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.

  • react-native-windows

    A framework for building native Windows apps with React.

  • react-native-game-engine

    A lightweight Game Engine for React Native ๐Ÿ•นโšก๐ŸŽฎ

  • Can you use an aircraft to travel 1km ? Yes you can, whether or not you should, depends on your use case. Though if you really want to, you can look into react-native-game-engine.

  • expo

    An open-source framework for making universal native apps with React. Expo runs on Android, iOS, and the web.

  • So yes, head to Expo Docs to get started. What I would suggest is do as many projects as you can to get good at it, and make sure to learn something new in every project you make.
