Ionic vs React Native about ecency-mobile HOT 6 CLOSED

Btw frameworks, libraries are not silver bullet. We will need optimization in every way.

@talhasch Markdown to Html is done with MarkdonwIt and react-native-htmlview packages.

Ionic will make things worse in the future. It is possible to do almost everything you do with Ionic with React Native. I will push the Markdown2Html parse example today for you to review.

ok thank you... good points.

Are you sure RN can handle markdown parsing, steem transaction signing, securely storing account sensitive data (private keys) etc. without hassle?

I agree about Ionic apps, from experience they are very quick to produce but performance requires a lot more effort and resources to maintain and improve. And https://github.com/esteemapp/esteem app is example of that prototype you mentioned @hsynterkr ...

We were talking with Talha earlier about tech stack, it should be solid and across the board supported from all the products we build and portable so that we don't repeat ourselves building same functionality with different languages from scratch but use what technology we already have components, services again. The reason we discussing or debating this here is to make final decision about technology stack so that we don't stop or change things in middle of development (it would be waste of resources)

What do you say @talhasch ?

React Native can easily handle all the operations mentioned. It can store data with LocalStorage. It can even keep private keys encrypted with Secure Storage.

Without doubt, react is faster than angular. For mobile it compiles to native, for web it uses virtual dom. Great for us.

I wonder how capable react native's WebView. The app will be strongly html depended. as you know markdown to html renderer, post editor... Before decide, I think you should deeply check if WebView is enough for us @hsynterkr

There are great open source rich text editors for React Native. Customizing will not be hard.
We can also use Markdown libraries. I just tried the markdownIt library that busy.org uses, it works fine with RN.
