Given your background, maybe you or someone else here could help me. I am about to start a new mobile project, and I have yet to decide whether to use RN or Ionic.

My project will be nothing very fancy: mainly "forms" and use the camera and audio recording. But at some point in the future I would like to use hardware features more heavily (real time audio processing, GPS among others). Would you think RN would be a good fit for this? Have you had experience with Ionic? If yes, how do you think both of this compare?

I know that Ionic is not native, but I am more looking to understand how many headeches will I get to use the phone hardware on each of these two platforms.
