React Native vs Native IOS/Android

Frontend Hub / General · March 27, 2019 at 10:35pm

Hey guys, I'm kickstarting a new project of my own so I'm trying to lookout for budget. It's going to be a web based app at first so it makes sense to me to research options like React Native. But in the case of React Native, that still needs to be converted from React.

My question is what solutions would you recommend to have an app version of my web project with the least amount of work (time and resources) needed? Would you recommend something else then react?

Or if you know any react to react native converter or something like that..

Thanks so much!

        That’s awesome! But PWA doesn’t work in IOS right? Meaning you can’t add it to the app store. Thanks so much for your help

          Ah, you want to add app to the APP store. Yeah, that is not the solution there. PWA is quick way of giving users ability to use it cross platform, with kind feeling and access like an app, and not trough browser tab
