React or React Native?

Hey 👽's

I started React-Native for two todays. Which is very easy since it has same ReactJs features.

But now I'm confused. Because the styles and codes are totally native codes. How Can I achieve the cross platform support feature i.e., Web.

Also the doc specifies about React-Native_web.

What's the Dealio?

If you want web app that is also a phone app you better go with progressive web apps. Otherwise you end up with overcomplicated code for web.

I had that thought too.

But I believe my grandPa won't prefer browser over local apps 🤔🤔🤔

Of course they're awesome. But my target audience won't prefer that.

If your grandpa uses android there's no difference, except the installation process (which is go to a site and tap a button vs go to play store, search for app, tap a button)

It's hard to explain. But I'll try this 👍

React-Native is not for the Web. However there are some projects out there that allow you to write RN Web and have it full cross-platform.

So, you're telling that, I should reWrite my whole web-app according to React-Native in order to get a native support?

This is the project that allows you to write RN components on the web and have same project for apps this is how I understand it github.com/necolas/react-native-web
