James Long@jlongster·Apr 5, 2017Yes, or RN components that try to replace native ones. I still love React Native!Quote TweetEli Perkins@_eliperkins · Apr 5, 2017Replying to @jlongsterAh, were your original comments based around mobile web?1110
vjeux ✪@Vjeux·Apr 5, 2017At the end of the day, there is nothing fundamental that RN/Web can't do compared to native. You just move boxes based on time and touches27
James Long@jlongster·Apr 5, 2017Yeah, but it's the momentum that's hard. Like @_chenglou says it's hard to compete with JS solely because it moves fast...11
James Long@jlongster·Apr 5, 2017iOS doesn't move quite as fast but every new version requires you to keep up1
vjeux ✪@Vjeux·Apr 5, 2017I don't think that's iOS moving fast. It's more that no one actually tried to match it perfectly. All the attempts I've seen are incomplete2
James Long@jlongster·Apr 5, 2017Do you think that indicates at all that it may not be possible? I'm sure some really smart people have tried21
vjeux ✪@Vjeux·Apr 5, 2017The problem is around incentives. Who is going to benefit from spending a month replicating this?3
Jared Forsyth@jaredforsyth·Apr 5, 2017to hear @andy_matuschak tell it, it would take rather more than a month :P11
Andy Matuschak@andy_matuschakReplying to @jaredforsyth @Vjeux and 2 othersYes, maybe… but not years. I do think @vjeux’s right at bottom. It’s doable; it’ll take time and cultural valuation.8:43 PM · Apr 5, 2017·Twitter for Mac2 Likes
Andy Matuschak@andy_matuschak·Apr 5, 2017Replying to @andy_matuschak @jaredforsyth and 3 othersCulturally, I often don’t see folks valuing perfect matching. I see ~eyeballing, not the output of using e.g. xScope. Incentives, as you say13
James Long@jlongster·Apr 5, 2017Maybe what would help is someone documenting all the little things we need to do (cc @jordwalke)11
