Blog title lacks iOS: "Building Digs, an offline Discogs companion"
And it's a RN app:
> It’s a React Native app built with Expo and TypeScript. Data lives in SQLite.
What's wrong with React Native? I don't quite get your point there.
Speculating - but an iOS app that's build on React Native is not really a 'native iOS app'. Which might have some performance implications etc.
Just speculating, I've not done mobile development since before RN was even a thing.
RN does use a lot of native code. It’s not based on a webview like Electron is. Most of the builtin components are native views and there’s no CSS. The JS engine is also simpler. It’s more akin to the lua runtime in Neovim.
Ah, I did not know that. I thought it was more Electron-like.
Quite a lot. Enough that it isn't realistic to ask this in good faith
That’s fun!
