React Native Paper
Dan Abramov on Twitter: “7. Facebook’s investment in React Native is as high as ever. The main app has 750+

React Native screens, and it’s used for several standalone apps. It’s not the right tradeoff for Messenger,

but this ethos (e.g. lean use of C) inspires a lot of the ongoing React Native work.”</a >
