I have been working with a friend on an app. It is in social commerce space. My background is in Product Design and my friend is a developer. We need a bit more of developer muscle to help moving forward. DM me if you are interested. #startup #bayarea #xamarin
I actually don't see any problem going with Xamarin, per se. Language is not as important as delivering things fast, especially for a startup that doesn't know if it will exist tomorrow, and it's not like we're talking about an immature solution. Now I'm assuming the developer friend is an experienced C#/Xamarin dev, in which case this makes total sense. If that's not true, this is a super weird requirement to state upfront lol.
Dafuq is Xamarin? Is that some nerdy Star Trek language OP?
How does xamarin compare to react native?
I've used all the above (native, Xamarin Native, Xamarin Forms, RN) though mostly native now (Kotlin/Swift). If you go Xamarin Native, it's just super light abstractions over native APIs and they've been pretty good bringing things to parity with the underlying APIs. You do take a hit on app size, but can share some code, and still have tons of flexibility. Xam Forms is much more like RN. Even more code sharing, but less flexibility. You can feel beholden to the framework, but if it meets your requirements and you don't need to dive down to the native layer often, both work. If you're all about small app size and the newest features then stick to native. Of course you can build anything with any of these, so even more important to ask - what skills does your team have?
