React Native is essentially just writing web apps, once RN has css grid I will be happy enough with everything it has.
There's something to be said for writing web apps in RN purely for the option of porting to iOS, Android and even MacOS/Windows now.
Fair enough. I hardly ever use grid cause I usually find flex handles 99% of my cases. But grid can be nice in certain instances. Haven’t tried RN for anything other than ios and android but am curious about the other platforms. And I guess the rest of the argument is just the age old debate of web vs native app. I think for some apps you’d be hard pressed to convince users to open a browser every time and type in a url, but certainly for other apps it’s fine. I won’t rehash that whole debate though :)
A webapp can live within a native app. The native app just acts as a holder and maybe has some functionality like social logins, ads, push notifications etc.
