Probably the first "we adopted x" blog post that I can find relatable and spot-on.
I think it's one of the big misconceptions that React Native is _the_ path to get your web devs or even existing code onto mobiles. That's how you get the criticism that RN builds bad, mouldy apps.
Between our clients that have had this issue with quality and shops in the same space as us that haven't (one who boasts a review on one of their apps being "an example on how to build a proper fully native app"), having a good portion of native devs on the team is a big differentiator. Unfortunately this means a RN Team isn't as cheap as some hope.
I was listening to a podcast around 2017 (?) with AirBnb (?) devs when they were using RN and I remember they said “RN is a tool for mobile devs to not write the same app twice, not a shortcut for web devs to not learn native”.
