Can you elaborate?

I like this idea.

Going back and listening to voicemails of spam is more time consuming than just answering it at the time it comes in.

iPhone or Android. We don’t have a landline.

Thanks everyone!

My vote is for a standardized cross platform navigation library to ship with react native.

Your article makes it sound like ReactNative uses webview to render the UI, which is not correct.

Excellent article. Well done!

Ionic can get you the most code sharing. Ionic uses a web view to render the UI so it will never get you the same as a native UI, but it is actually really good. Expect a few delays here and there, though. Make sure to try it out on the oldest phone you plan on supporting to see if you’re okay with the performance before moving forward. Ionic will get you the most code sharing.

React Native is a great for cross platform iOS and Android native. If you want code sharing across native app and web app, look into ReactXP, or come up with your own code sharing technique, which apparently @sdcookie’s team did.

Titanium from Appcelerator also supposedly targets Native and Web.

Also consider focusing your efforts on native and not doing a web app. RobinHood stock trading app went a long ways without having a web app. Just throwing that out there.

+1 for tagging

Wow! I didn’t realize there were that many!

Word of advice: Make sure your “business guy” already has a written marketing plan in place showing how money is to be made, and an exit strategy. Then make sure you actually really agree that it is accomplishable, and that you are willing to go for it.

Make sure there is already a written marketing plan in place.

That is awesome! I’ve wondered about using a seat from a car before.

Well done!

For mobile game development, I started with Unity. The video tutorials on their website are free and helpful to get at least a basic understanding of game development.

Then I tried out Unreal. I found that the concepts I learned in Unity carried over to Unreal.

I'm not a pro at either, but I did release a couple small games in Unity. I would start by at least watching the videos on Unity's website.

I have updated the navigation for mobile. It should be a lot easier to navigate now on a small screen. I'd like to make the site look better overall, but all in due time.

What happens if you share it, but haven't built it, and don't have very much time to build it, but someone else does, and they like the idea and build it first?

Was your app for iOS, or Android?

I have made several small mobile apps. (http://anthonytietjen.blogspot.com/p/my-portfolio.html) I charge for some of them, but my White Screen Flashlight has ads. (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.anthonytie...) If you are into programming, and are considering an app, make something super simple (like my Cost Per Sq Foot Calculator), and you might be surprised that people actually pay for it.

I put together an article a while back comparing a few different frameworks. They all have their pros and cons. I should probably update it to add React Native and NativeScript, but here you go for what it's worth: http://anthonytietjen.blogspot.com/2016/07/choosing-a-mobile...

Thanks Walter! Those are good points.
