I think the new Flutter promise is to be able to be both mobiles and web as well, you should take a look at that then. Then the problem with Flutter it is, that is quite immature still.

Things I have done to improve my React Native development experience:

  • Fix problems from the start: dragging my node problem was dumb, that alleviate things a lot
  • Forget about VS Code, is basically a pretty version of Sublime Text with a bunch plugins. I'm using WebStom it is paid, but I think the real revenue is having good tooling, less headache.
  • Those commands I figure for restarting the app, in WebStorm I can run them using the IDE
  • Configure npm autocomplete to improve the terminal usability, you have to add this to your bash profile source <(npm completion)
