React Native on UT?

[B2288]

Is it possible to deploy React Native apps to UT? It looks like canonical did some work getting React Native onto UT, but does this still work / is Ubuntu Touch supported by react native?

Looks like there is an actively maintained fork:
https://github.com/status-im/react-native-desktop

Might make for cool convergent apps.

Are there any applications made with react-native-desktop available? Can someone share their experience, guys? Is it really a way to go for JS developers? Does this approach have some significant restrictions such as, for example, lack of push notifications support? Or everything what is available for native Qt apps is also available here?

I'm new to developing applications for Ubuntu Touch and very interested in it but not familiar enough with C++ and Qt.

@ezze You can come a long way with QML and JavaScript. As an example, the navigation app uNav is written solely using those technologies.
