Gotcha. I'll have to look up some docs on that, sounds useful.

[Edit] "government censorship seems to be becoming the norm" is perhaps too extreme. Still, the link between the article's evidence of increased censorship and the Trump administration's stance on climate change (and other issues) is concerning.

I took it as implying that old people tend to be less technically savvy (although as the hackers of last generation age this is increasingly untrue).
The real win using something like Ionic is that you can build your app using web tech that works equally well on the phone or in the browser, and that your developers already know. The trade-off is that it becomes more difficult (but certainly possible) to make your app look and feel native.
React Native gives you many of those benefits, but since it compiles to actual native code you can't reuse your code for a browser app.
From my point of view (early 20s, grew up with computers and learned typing in 3rd grade), I really can't imagine that typing is that much of an issue in the development world, even back in 2008. Surely every who types for a living has learned how by now?
