DevTeach app developed using React Native now available on Google Play and Apple App Store

Developing cross platform mobile apps is currently one of the most important topics for developers - no one wants to maintain multiple code bases unnecessarily, and code reuse is super important. Hence, I wanted to see for my myself how React Native can help in this. 

And so I went out to develop an app for the DevTeach (http://www.devteach.com) conference (in which I am speaking and running a workshop next month). And here I created quite a simple app in a couple of days. And it runs on both Android and iOS. 

Overall, I am quite pleasantly surprised by the versatility of React Native and I saved quite a lot of time in testing my UI as I don't have to redeploy the app every time I have an UI change - pressing Cmd-R reloads your app. 

You can now download the DevTeach app from Google Play as well as from Apple's App Store
