  Build cross-platform Native Progressive Web Apps for iOS, Android, and the Web ⚡️

  

  > “Make a progressive web app”: yes, that might be the way to go; provided you can get the users to ‘install’ it on their devices.

  Assuming you're talking about the not-well-known process of adding PWAs to the Home screen, it's worth noting that you can package web apps for app store distribution as well. https://capacitorjs.com/

  🧍‍♂️ React Native + Next.js, unified.

  It has become very practical / doable in the recent year or so. In my experience, if you have lot of frontend web experience, the easiest way to ship a RN app is by using Solito [0]. Also check out Nativewind [1] which allows you to style native apps the same way like you would on web. I was able to ship the first version of our app in about 1.5 weeks with this stack. Also checkout Tamagui [2].

  🚀 Native iOS and Android Apps with JavaScript

  

  I remember Appcelerator. In fact I'm still using it to this day. The core Titanium is now open source and the Apps are "true" native. Give them another look and you may be surprised: https://titaniumsdk.com

  65 9,104 9.8 TypeScript

  React Native's Animated library reimplemented

  

  FYI react-native-reanimated (https://github.com/software-mansion/react-native-reanimated) is not the Animated API from React Native. react-native-reanimated allows JS code to run on a UI thread that is able to synchronously modify layout, providing alternative synchronous ways for you to hook into the layouting. For instance, as opposed to the asynchronous `measure()` method provided by React Native to measure layouts, react-native-reanimated allows one to call their version of `measure()` (https://docs.swmansion.com/react-native-reanimated/docs/api/...) to perform the same operation on the UI thread, synchronously.

  A framework for building native applications using React

  

  I meant both Animated APIs - neither is able to perform synchronous layouts - because react native is not able to do that. That’s the issue that’s stopping the page sheet controllers being added to react native. I actually was helping getting this added, but we never managed to get the layout issues fixed - https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/34834

  The measure function you mention isn’t co-ordinated to the layout, so you could read it while a layout is pending and get old data - but that doesn't really matter for most cases
