I work on the WeVote.us non-profit voting tech project. https://github.com/wevote/WebApp About a year ago, I started a port of React to React Native -- some people report 30% to 80% common code, but for us is was optimistically 10%.  We are a small group of volunteers, who put most of our fron

I completely agree with Oliver. My personal opinion is when genius like Nikola Tesla was under rated we need not worry much about popularity. As long as we feel motivated to contribute to the framework and serve the end users we should feel proud. Regards, Gandhi. On Friday, January 25, 2019, Oli

I forgot to include a statement of appreciation for the amount of effort some members have contributed over the years to add new platform support, new features, and solve some major issues. I am sure some people have put a lot of personal time as maintainers over the years. On Thu, Jan 24, 2019 at

I recently saw an article about app frameworks, where Cordova sadly shows up as the most dreaded framework in an image near the end: https://medium.com/zerotomastery/tech-trends-showdown-react-vs-angular-vs-vue-61ffaf1d8706 and I just raised a minor usability issue: https://github.com/apache/cordo
