I’m not really a fan of node.js, or a die hard JS person. (I’m a Ruby on Rails developer). I built the back-end of the RN app I spoke of in this article with Rails.

I don’t really think that native apps are necessarily taking traffic away from the web. And I definitely don’t support the ‘burial’ of native iOS and Android…

Yeah, I know this is possible. I use it in my app.

But every time I tell this to people using it (mostly non-tech, so I have to point it out to them), or even just other freelance clients - it is painful. It makes it seem like my app is of poor quality. And if I don’t tell them, they probably will never know that it is…

The reason I thought this was BS is due to all the silence I got from Apple when reporting bugs, posting in their developer forums, or tweeting to the people working on their web team. And it’s been ‘Under Consideration’ for something like 4 years, while meanwhile Google is championing the movement.
