[Portability] About make react native code could run on web browser

[yuanyan]

We try to do this, and expect to know how react native team think about it?

@yuanyan I don't think this is not necessary. Native and web are totally different experiences. You can port your app code into React.js app, but that would be a tremendous work.

I have no idea why you would want to do this.

This is on my mental todo list of things to do with the project. It would be awesome to have View, Text, Image and the gesture system working on the web. This way you can share components that are not platform specific between the three codebases.

@jaygarcia For write once, run everywhere

[yuanyan]

@tjwudi Yes, it's not a easy work if we port native component to React.js web.

What about mobile web browsers? Can I use iOS device to navigate to url and see the app with more or less native look and behaviour?

@yuanyan I don't think react-native web browser compatibility is coming anytime soon. As mentioned by the Facebook Team, they are not following the write once, run everywhere paradigm.

@ClemMakesApps We make it happened, write once, run everywhere:
