  • react-native

    A framework for building native applications using React

    • If you want a single codebase for web and mobile I would look into react-native and react-native-web. You could probably code the web app with react-native-web, make it responsive and build it through react-native for mobile. Designing an app for mobile and for web can lead to significant difference though since the experience is quite different. Some things might make sense for a mobile and not for a desktop or the opposite. So I wouldn't discard completely the idea of having separate codebases. Highly depends on the app though, totally valid for many use cases.

  • react-native-web

    Cross-platform React UI packages
