The Problem

Founders and engineering leads struggle to evaluate mobile frameworks using real operating constraints rather than benchmarks or framework advocacy. Important costs such as unreliable builds, dependency conflicts, native-module maintenance, hiring difficulty, and ecosystem limitations often emerge only after development is underway.

Potential Solution

Deliver a one-week consulting sprint that scores candidate stacks against the buyer's product requirements, team skills, hiring market, and maintenance horizon. Build the same representative feature slice in the leading two options, test local and hosted builds, examine critical dependencies, and provide a documented recommendation with cost and risk estimates.

Why Now?

Cross-platform choices now involve increasingly capable but operationally different ecosystems, while small teams are using coding agents to build more quickly and encountering maintenance risks sooner. A short independent evaluation is cheaper than migrating an application after launch.

Best Mobile Stack Choice for Greenfield Cross-Platform Project?
We also use RN with Expo and I genuinely despise that entire experience. Builds already take FOREVER, builds on Expo even longer. Builds on Expo have some special quirks to them which are not reproducible locally, their UI is convoluted and really difficult to navigate. RN on it's own has lots of issues, with package managers with hoisting(pnpm, bun), weird quirks with random libraries, slow builds and lagging behind on ts7 support. I vibe Flutter apps for myself on the side and the difference is night and day, everything builds instantly, debugs without any issues, runs perfectly fine everywhere. Granted, I don't write the code myself in either of those apps, we do work mostly through agents nowadays.
