Maintaining 2 codebases is not for everyone.

this only works if you already have two native teams. for a solo dev react native was never about writing code once, it's about one build, one release, one set of bugs to reproduce. llms made writing the second app cheap. maintaining it is still twice the work.

mobframework.com For the rest of us that also want full agentic app building. Native UI. One codebase. No need to compromise. Build your app with a few billion less tokens and still get pixel perfect native UIs on Android and iOS.

mob — BEAM on device

Write mobile apps in Elixir. The whole BEAM runs on the device, rendering native iOS and Android UI. Your coding agent attaches to the running app: real state, native UI, hot-pushed fixes.

In the Era of Agent coding maintaining has become easy. Native is always better in performance and to use latest APIs.

Curious to know how you will manage the transition, is it one complete app release or feature by feature?

Hi team - Shopify cut Athlete Merch’s Headless Admin API three times and won't restore the multiplier. This is stopping our company from growing and we're going to have to leave Shopify if this isn't fixed. Pls help!
