TL;DR: Three of us rebuilt the Olio app in React Native in 3 months. In this talk I cover how we planned it, the problems we hit, and what I'd do differently.
In October 2019 I spoke at React Conf about how our team migrated the entire Olio app to React Native in three months.
Olio is an app where people share surplus food instead of throwing it away. About a third of all food produced globally goes to waste.
The talk covers:
How we migrated the app How we planned the migration, the trade-offs we made to move quickly, and how we shipped in three months with a small team.
The problems we hit Performance, code structure and testing, and what we did about them.
Performance monitoring How we tracked and improved app performance after launch.
React Native for web How we used React Native Web components to share code between mobile and web.
