React vs Angular vs Vue

An eternal debate. I decided to ask Ai.

According to o3-pro, here are the key takeaways:

TL;DR β€” The 2025 Landscape

– React is confidently #1 in both installations and job openings,
– Angular is experiencing a corporate revival after the v17–v18 releases,
– Vue steadily holds its β€œpleasant and fast” niche with high community loyalty.

Forecast for 2025–2027

πŸ‘©β€πŸ’» React will remain the de facto standard. The release of React 19 with optimized server streaming will reinforce its leadership.

πŸ‘©β€πŸ’» Angular will grow in the B2B niche thanks to Signals, but its strict TypeScript-first architecture means a high entry barrier.

πŸ‘©β€πŸ’» Vue will continue to be a community favorite, especially in Asia. It’ll retain around 15–17% market share, but is unlikely to surpass Angular in job demand without a strong enterprise push.

On a global scale, React is objectively β€œbetter” by the numbers,
but β€œbetter for your project” β†’ depends on your team’s needs, deadlines, regulations, and technical debt.

πŸ’° How to Monetize a React Native App in 2025

Building apps is great. But turning them into income? Even better.

Here are the top monetization strategies for React Native devs:

πŸ“± In-App Purchases
Great for digital goods, subscriptions, or unlocking features.

πŸ“Š Ads (with control!)
Use platforms like AdMob or Facebook Audience Network β€” just don’t ruin the UX.

πŸ›’ Freemium Model
Offer a free version, upsell the premium with real value.

🌐 Affiliate & Dropshipping
Integrate products/services and earn per conversion. Especially powerful for niche audiences.

πŸ§‘β€πŸ’» SaaS & B2B Tools
Monetize with subscriptions, dashboards, or API-based solutions built on React Native

πŸš€ Reusable Toasts in React Native with NativeBase

Showing clear feedback β€” errors, success, info β€” is crucial for great UX. But repeating Toast.show() everywhere? Nope.

Save time with reusable toast helpers using NativeBase. Here’s how! πŸ”₯

πŸ’‘ What We’re Building

βœ… 3 handy toast functions:

- errorToast("Something went wrong!")
- successMessageToast("Action completed!")
- infoMessageToast("Heads up!"

πŸ§‘β€πŸ’» The Code

Error Toast Helper:

import { Box, Text, Toast } from 'native-base';
import React from 'react';

export const errorToast = (message) => {
const id = 'error-toast';
if (Toast.isActive(id)) return;

Toast.show({
id,
duration: 10000,
render: () => (
<Box bg="red.500" p="2" rounded="sm" mb={5}>
<Text fontSize="md" color="white">
{message}
</Text>
</Box>
),
});
};


Copy the same pattern for success and info:

export const successMessageToast = (message) => {
const id = 'success-toast';
if (Toast.isActive(id)) return;

Toast.show({
id,
duration: 5000,
render: () => (
<Box bg="success.500" p="2" rounded="sm" mb={5}>
<Text fontSize="md" color="white">
{message}
</Text>
</Box>
),
});
};

export const infoMessageToast = (message) => {
const id = 'info-toast';
if (Toast.isActive(id)) return;

Toast.show({
id,
duration: 5000,
render: () => (
<Box bg="info.500" p="2" rounded="sm" mb={5}>
<Text fontSize="md" color="white">
{message}
</Text>
</Box>
),
});
};


βš™οΈ How to Use

Anywhere in your app:

import { errorToast, successMessageToast } from './toastHelpers';

const handleSubmit = async () => {
try {
await api.submit();
successMessageToast("Submitted successfully!");
} catch (e) {
errorToast("Something went wrong.");
}
};


Pro Tips:

- Use unique IDs for each toast type

- Adjust duration for critical vs. casual messages

- Wrap your text in a styled Box for consistent theming

Inline Functions in Props

Mistake: Defining functions inline inside components, which causes unnecessary re-renders.

Wrong Code:


import { Button } from 'react-native';

const MyComponent = () => {
return (
<Button title="Press Me" onPress={() => console.log('Button Pressed')} />
);
};


Correct Practice: Define the function outside or use useCallback to memoize it.


import { Button } from 'react-native';
import { useCallback } from 'react';

const MyComponent = () => {
const handlePress = useCallback(() => {
console.log('Button Pressed');
}, []);

return <Button title="Press Me" onPress={handlePress} />;
};

Ignoring Platform-Specific Differences

Mistake: Hardcoding platform-specific logic instead of handling differences dynamically.

Wrong Code:

import { StyleSheet, Text } from 'react-native';

const MyComponent = () => {
return <Text style={styles.text}>Hello</Text>;
};

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
text: {
fontSize: 20,
paddingTop: 20, // Might look bad on iOS
},
});


Correct Practice: Use Platform.select or conditional logic to handle differences.

import { StyleSheet, Text, Platform } from 'react-native';

const MyComponent = () => {
return <Text style={styles.text}>Hello</Text>;
};

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
text: {
fontSize: 20,
paddingTop: Platform.select({ ios: 20, android: 10 }),
},
});

Hardcoding Dimensions Instead of Using Flexbox

Mistake: Using fixed dimensions for layout, making the app non-responsive.

Wrong Code:


import { View, StyleSheet } from 'react-native';

const Box = () => <View style={styles.box} />;

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
box: {
width: 100,
height: 100,
backgroundColor: 'blue',
},
});


Correct Practice: Use flex for responsive layouts.


import { View, StyleSheet } from 'react-native';

const Box = () => <View style={styles.box} />;

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
box: {
flex: 1,
backgroundColor: 'blue',
},
});

Hey guys!

Just wanted to share this cool article on React Design Patterns. No matter how much experience we’ve got, it’s always a good idea to refresh the basics β€” helps us write cleaner code and build better apps!

⚑ Hermes

Hermes is enabled by default in new Expo projects, but ensure it’s configured:


// app.json
{
"expo": {
"jsEngine": "hermes",
"plugins": [
["expo-build-properties", {
"android": { "enableHermes": true },
"ios": { "enableHermes": true }
}]
]
}
}


Impact: 60% faster startup times and 30% memory savings

Concrete gains:

- πŸš€ App startup: 60% faster startup times
- πŸ’Ύ Memory usage: 30% memory savings
- πŸ“¦ Bundle size: Smaller with bytecode pre-compilation

Note: New Architecture is enabled by default since Expo SDK 52 (November 2024) for new projects, and mandatory by default since SDK 53 (April 2025).

🎨 Splash Screen: Kill the White Flash of Death

Properly configured splash screens prevent the dreaded white flash during app startup:


// app.json
{
"expo": {
"plugins": [
[
"expo-splash-screen",
{
"backgroundColor": "#232323",
"image": "./assets/images/splash-icon.png",
"dark": {
"image": "./assets/images/splash-icon-dark.png",
"backgroundColor": "#000000"
},
"imageWidth": 200
}
]
]
}
}


Control splash screen programmatically:


import * as SplashScreen from 'expo-splash-screen';

// Prevent auto-hide
SplashScreen.preventAutoHideAsync();
// Set animation options
SplashScreen.setOptions({
duration: 1000,
fade: true,
});
// Hide when app is ready
useEffect(() => {
async function prepare() {
try {
// Load fonts, make API calls, etc.
await Font.loadAsync(MyFont);
await loadUserData();
} catch (e) {
console.warn(e);
} finally {
setAppIsReady(true);
}
}
prepare();
}, []);
const onLayoutRootView = useCallback(() => {
if (appIsReady) {
SplashScreen.hide();
}
}, [appIsReady]);


Pro tips for seamless experience:

- Match colors: Use the same backgroundColor as your first screen
- Proper timing: Hide splash only after content is ready to render
- Dark mode support: Always provide dark variant for better UX

πŸš€ Big Update!

Hey everyone πŸ‘‹
I’ve decided to take this channel in a new direction.

From now on, React Native Hub will become my personal space β€” Ars Dev. Don’t worry, I’ll still be sharing content about React Native, mobile development, and everything around it. The only difference is that it will be more personal, with my own thoughts, tips, and insights as a developer.

If you’ve been following me for React Native content β€” you’ll still get plenty of that. But you’ll also see a bit more of my journey in indie app development.

If you enjoy the content here and want to support the growth of this channel, you can buy me a coffee β˜•οΈπŸ˜

πŸ‘‹ I wanted to share a library I recently came across β€” 

react-native-animated-glow


It's a free, open-source package for adding animated glow effects to buttons, images, and UI elements. The cool part? There's a visual builder on their site where you can tweak animations, see results in real-time, and just copy the code. Super satisfying to play with.

It could be nice for those key moments where you want users to feel something β€” like confirming a payment or highlighting a premium feature.
