React Native ​

Currently looking into using Capacitor for mobile apps so I can reuse my Solid code for apps I am building.

React Native is neat though. Expo has great features.

React Native Quick SQLite is slick too. Stacks is useful for layouts. React Native Url Router is neat router. React Native Developer Tools is useful.

Ignite, Solito, zART-Stack & React Native template with goodies seem like nice starters.

Tamagui is interesting for styling.

NativeScript is interesting alternative.

RN Optimization Guide is good read.
