Expo released their support web (still in beta) at the start of the month, bringing react native + API extensions to iOS/Android + web.

Ignoring the user interface, having a single JS codebase for APIs, business logic and unit tests is pretty darn exciting IMO, especially with typescript support.

What added value does react native has over Ionic and the likes?

Uses the real native UI components so you get the look, feel and performance of native UI instead of HTML recreations

Performance is not true, if measured in terms of cpu! See e.g.: http://www.insticc.org/node/TechnicalProgram/icsoft/presenta...
