React Native at Instagram
Thanks for sharing!<p>I'm currently leading the (soft) transition of a two-platform, not-so-much-shared-code code base (ObjC, Java, Swift, C++) to React Native.<p>We hit some snags early on (mostly wrt tooling; also prepare to alter your mind set) but as the article states RN yields an astonishing amount of code reuse between platforms as well as heavily reduced turnaround times.<p>It’s way too early for conclusions/doing a post mortem for our project at this time.<p>Nonetheless I’d say we’re able to iterate faster by an order of magnitude and the added value of discussing features and domain logic/behavior for both platforms at the same time while enabling UX/UI to get results/feedback faster is a huge win.<p>That said, I’m really looking forward to the challenges that lie ahead (i18n, RTL quirks, proper unit/feature/integration testing scenarios, non-trivial native bridging, …)
