@isaiah@mastodon.social @marcpalmer@iosdev.space At work I’ve been using TypeScript and React Native and the apps are pretty darned good. Microsoft even did React Native for Windows, so you could probably get pretty far with it.
The Native in React Native means native platform controls. So you get UIKit Buttons, Views, TableViews, etc. The resulting apps are quite good.

@fahrni@curmudgeon.cafe @marcpalmer@iosdev.space i wrote a whole app, really close to done. just a markdown editor — but it scratched a bunch of itches. Typescript but my own UI system. But just mentioning that I was considering a non-native code elicited such a negative reaction i was afraid it might poison my other products so i shelved it. That was around pandemic times. With the benefit of hindsight, I can see that a few my decisions around that time were not thought out well. Hindsight is 20/20. 😕
