I’ve been deeply involved with React Native since April 2015. To say I’m a fanboy is a bit of an understatement for sure. But, I’m super intrigued with the fact that NativeScript {N} gives you 100% access to native APIs. Sounds great, right? The only catch is that in order to do so, you’d either need to write vanilla JS or more recently you can write them with Angular2. Personally, I’d rather not do either. I’d rather use my hard earned React skills. And this is totally possible…

@geirmanc @jenlooper @nraboy React+{N} is totally possible from an architectural standpoint, but we’d rather focus on doing one thing well.

After writing this blog post, I was motivated to write my first medium post on the same topic, which is a bit more informative…
