Trying to convince myself that I didn't waste all my time learning swift by making a OS X "application" after I switched to react native.

Is it really better than developing native with Swift?

@gnaaah I prefer native.But my opinion is that both native and hybrid each have places they are superior and none is better than the other.

@bdhobare Well, except for Cordova xD

The reason why I switched to react native.
1: you make android and iOS at the same time with usually one set of knowledge
2. You have all these easy access open source components wrote by other ppl that looks really nice and super simple for u to implement
3. I use node.js for backend. So I'm just using JavaScript to write both apps.
4. JavaScript has clean and easy syntax. I love Java too but I'm not a huge fan of swift syntax.
5. Being able to use react native also makes u good at react.js which is one of the hottest web app library. The code is highly transferable from mobile to web or the other way around, making things much easier.

In conclusion, using react native saves me 3 times more time on making apps and I can transfer them to web app using the same code just need to change the native components to web components.

However, I do believe the quality and performance are better with native
