I tried Fuse a while ago and even tough I didn't really got into it it was all very comfortable.

Lot of examples that look very promising really help to get into the main stuff quickly.

Tough, after learning React (preact actually) ; I'm wondering what it could help achieve more than going trough Native React. The last one is already well implemented and is "structured" like react, merging up some learning curve.

as Pier25 said earlier tough, trouble is when you need to implement "fancier" things. At which point you could have gotten into real native anyway.

It saves some time, but the pricing plans are ridiculous.

If you want to build a tool people want to use you need to build up something they'll like first.

I doubt anyone could be using it since more established tools are already been accepted by the community.

I will never pay you for a Visual Studio. I like coding with VIM or Subl, and I look after tools that I can use with a idiot text editor.

Hope you grow up from this :)

Cheers

edit: misread plans



Bent from Fuse here again: thanks for the feedback — we definitely know of a lot of people who use both RN and Fuse for different projects. They both have advantages and disadvantages, depending on your team makeup, experience and what type of project you're working on.

Your feedback around pricing is also duly noted.


I also think the pricing is unsustainable.

Even if you are making mobile apps all year round, what if tomorrow you don't want to use Fuse anymore? You'd need to keep on paying the subscription to fix bugs.

What if you are a freelancer who only makes mobile apps from time to time? Again you need to pay the whole enchilada to be able to fix little bugs from time to time.

A price per published app would make more sense IMO. Allow devs to use the complete experience for developing, make them pay when they need to compile and publish the app. If you are confident that your users will love your dev experience (which seems your stronger selling point) this would not feel like a trap.
