React NativeWhat it is, and why it's in our toolbox
Facebook's framework for native mobile using React: JavaScript logic driving real platform widgets.
Why Chimbuk uses it
When a client's team already writes React, React Native lets the same humans ship mobile. We scaffold with Expo for OTA updates and keep native modules isolated.
How we work with it
The working rule on every engagement: a technology stays only while it pays rent — in developer speed, runtime performance, hosting cost or hiring availability for your future team. React Native passed that test; the written case for it (and its honest trade-offs) goes into your project's decision log, so nobody has to reverse-engineer the reasoning after handover.
In this studio today
You can see react native doing real work on this very site and across the Concept Lab demos — including the CSS-rendered device screens on /concepts — and, where it concerns shipped product, in the verified work ledger under our own Google Play label.
