You might find this recent blog post from the React Native team informative, about their long-term vision for multi-platform support: https://reactnative.dev/blog/2021/08/26/many-platform-vision From per

This isn't really accurate. Presuming you're using react-native-web [1] (the most popular version of RN targeting the web, although there are others), it's essentially just a set of components and APIs, fulfilling RN's

Ah I see. That can be achieved since Flow 0.51 with opaque types[1][2]. It seems like TypeScript hasn't yet caught up with this functionality[3]. [1] https://medium.com/flow-type/hiding-implementation-details-w..

Yeah I realise you'd never reach the same level of soundness due to the limitations of the underlying JS (although presumably you could get close with a subset?). But that's why it's an interesting challenge, and I think wha

Something which I think could be helpful for the overall ecosystem, and allow both type systems to coexist and thrive, would be more attention put into tools which transpile code and type definitions between the two languages. The two most

So, I was one of (or I suppose the only...) person in the linked issue arguing that competition is useful, and that it makes sense for Facebook's products to be tied into the same ecosystem. As others have mentioned, when Flow was firs

This is currently a stage 1 proposal for the core language: https://github.com/tc39/proposal-optional-chaining Depending on your stack it might be possible to make use of it already, e.g. Babel has a transpilation plug

As Dan said when closing that issue, this seems to me how I would expect rendering in React to work... it's async by nature. If you need the component's state/props to be a certain way for the very first render, use `this.sta

Why use componentWillMount and not componentDidMount? From the docs: > componentWillMount() is invoked immediately before mounting occurs. It is called before render(), therefore setting state synchronously in this method will not trigg

> Option 1: Use a string or null/false data [...] If you're using a type checker like #flow, it will yell at you and for a good reason: data type changes are hard to reason about and very error prone in practice. This isn'

I'd highly recommend using a type system like Flow to enumerate the shape of possible actions the store should support. This brings numerous advantages: 1. You can use strings for action types, no more need to import constants. 2. No n

Something this article glosses over is that JavaScript achieved all the benefits of ES6, ES7, gradual typing, etc, without breaking backwards compatibility. I can still pull in a library written 10 years ago alongside my fancy new async&#x

React Native is primarily aimed at writing cross-platform UI code. When it comes to performance critical code, or integrating heavily with native UIs (eg the media streaming abilities of Spotify) it's perfectly fine to drop down to nat

Nope, sorry, I'm fully focused on the SaaS model. If it helps at all, I've tried to remove as many concerns as I can associated with storing these kind of things in something cloud-based. See the list of pledges on the homepage,

Thanks! Not at the moment. It would be nice to one day, but given that I'm bootstrapping, the rate of growth is quite slow, and I don't think it's reached the scale yet where it would make sense to do full-time.
