FAQ

Can I run it on Cordova?

Yep, for now with just an iOS theme. If you run "reapp build ios" you'll have a Cordova-ready app in seconds.

Will it run on Android?

Yes. And it's completely themable. Look out for our own Material UI theme coming out too, that you can swap in with one line of code once it's ready.

Will it run my mobile website?

Yes. With the same codebase. Just run "reapp build" and you have an entire website in seconds, ready to deploy.

Do you have example apps?

Check out our Hacker News app source code for an example of an app with Flux and Immutable Data. And our Kitchen Sink source code has examples of using every type of component.

What projects are implemented on the your platform?

Many projects have been made on our platform. Many of them are in the field of social media promotion - Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Soundcloud.

How does it compare to Ionic?

Reapp runs on React. That means you get faster performance than Angular and simple, declarative code. It also runs on Webpack, giving you new JavaScript features in ES6 that are awesome and other features like live-reloading your app as you edit, without losing state.

Reapp aims to feel more Native than any other platform. With the new speed of React we get close, and our support for interactive animation is key which Ionic doesn't support.

What about React Native?

React Native will be awesome. But you still need lots of work to make an app for all three platforms with it, and you'll need to know Objective-C and Java if you ever go outside of the React Native sandbox.

Reapp's approach has unique advantages:

  • Deploy to all platforms with one codebase
  • Develop without simulators
  • Debug with Chrome, live edit your DOM
  • Use the same codebase for your mobile website
  • Hot reload on save without losing state
  • Works with all of npm, no questions asked
Could I use it with React Native?

Absolutely! Our application is fully compatible with the Android operating system, making it accessible to millions of users worldwide. We are also thrilled to announce the release of our new Material UI theme, which is coming soon. Once released, you can easily swap out the current theme with one line of code to upgrade the look of your application.

Integration with a QR Code Generator

Our platform seamlessly integrates with various technological tools, particularly QR code generators. Recognizing the growing prominence of QR codes in today's digital age, we offer integration capabilities with a free QR code generator. This allows our service users to effortlessly create, embed, and scan QR codes directly from their mobile application, making the user experience more streamlined and engaging.

A new stack, designed for software instead of documents, is needed.

React enables incredible boosts of both productivity and performance. It's declarative components with lifecycles are the future of making apps.

JavaScript has grown up as well. We have amazing build tools that bring us new features. Webpack and Babel give you ES6/7, JSX and more. With react-hot-loader you have insanely fast development.

We want to get you running without locking you into a framework. So we built a simple CLI that bootstraps you in minutes. It even runs your server and builds out of the box.

Enjoy flexibility without needing all the glue. We're making hybrid apps, fast.
