chagai951015ySo JavaScript and a framework called appcelerator? Does anyone have experience with this? I'm curious to know about stuff that did not work as well as it would have programming natively. How's about offline functionalities, was that hard to program?
-
@chagai95 1 reason the devs were awesome php/web guys and thought they could make it work with appcelerator

yahya1235yIf this app is created using Titanium (by Appcelerator), I beg you not to use it.
My company used it for 3 years and it's horrible compared to things like React Native.
After years of pleading we are finally porting to react native in about 3 months time. -
chagai951015y@yahya12 can you elaborate what's so bad about it? And why is react native better? Is native even better or is react the same quality?
-
yahya1235y@chagai95 Where to start.
- Framework is not as good as React.
- when bugs crop up, the company takes ages to fix it
- Basic styling tools like min and max width is not available
- Compiling takes forever. Even with TiShadow (an unofficial tool to speed up development), it still takes about a minute for every compile. React Native has live reload and hot reload meaning changes can take just a few seconds.
- Cannot use ES6 with TiShadow
- IDE tooling is horrendous
- Because not many people use it, getting support is quite hard.
Believe me. I used it for 3 years straight! Use React Native.
React is used for the web.
React Native is used for mobile apps.
Both made by the same company, Facebook.
I recommend first learning react before react native.
Anyone know what language was used to program this app? Is it a framework?
