You're wrong. Empty page with no scripts still costs 100MB of ram.

If you are alone in your project and never used JavaScript - don't use React Native. It won't give you any benefits at all. It's that simple.

It may be useful if you know and like JS already or your have a team of web developers and you need them to build mobile app for you or your client. They should be able to do it without much to learn and your will have an app that can be potentially run on Android and iOS.

I don't follow. In my opinion, if you're alone on a project, the case for React Native (compared to writing an Android app in Java and an iOS app in ObjC or Swift) is even greater.

The OP didn't ever explicitly say he wanted to create an iOS and an Android app though, and I would agree that if that's not a desire, then React Native is less compelling, especially if OP has never used JS, as you said.

Only if you are a web developer. If you already know other languages, Obj C / Swift for iOS and Java for Android would be easier (even if there is duplicated work).

Alternatively, you could use C++ and Qt for both.

Ok, I guess that's where we disagree. I think that even if I were well versed in native Android or iOS development, I'd be better off writing a new app in React Native (even if I had to learn it all), rather than becoming well-versed in native development of the other, and then writing two apps.

If I was an expert in both Android and iOS, and knew nothing of web development... I still think I'd lean toward learning and using React Native. But only then would it be a close call.

I would just target the platform I already knew first, then port to the other if it turns out to be worth it.

I'm writing a finance tech app, I pretty much need it to be perfect for obvious reasons. This was one of my goals, bringing people in later to build on my code.

Do you think its worth hiring a software developer 5pm-8pm to work on this with me? I was otherwise going to brute force it myself evenings and weekends.

I'm wondering why a lot of cryptos (eth, ltc, many more) use price is going up since circa 4 days. Like something happend or is going to happen.

bitcoin futures market is making it more main stream. futures might lead to an etf which would explode the value.

It could be because of the hype around the cboe's Bitcoin futures.

Fun thing to do: block all http traffic (or even block all but https) and try to work for a day or two.

That's the best way to see how many services still relies on http at least partially.

... unfortunately

I hope it will get better and soon we all will be able to do that

Maybe I am repeating another comment, but... that's not something new. It's a well known thing (at least here, in Europe/Poland) that type 2 diabetes at early stage is mostly caused by bad lifestyle and can be easily reversed within few months.

The interesting thing here is what lifestyle is causing it/cures it.

In Denmark we call diabetes "sugar disease". I read a pamphlet from the The Diabetes Foundation where it said that it was 'a lifestyle disease' and made no connection with sugar or carbs. Rather, I got the impression it was still about reducing your weight, which has usually been a battle against fat contents. I asked my doctor about these statements and the connection with sugar, only to have him say "well, some studies make a connection but nothing official".

Which brings me back to the article. The point is the connection is becoming more clear: High carb diet (e.g. sugar) seems to trigger Type 2.

It's not news, but science is not about news - it's about rigorous testing to confirm our theory.

In progress, there was a video shown of this feature

This gets linked every time, and every time it's still not the Vivaldi source code. This is their patched version of Chromium and is not sufficient for building the actual Vivaldi browser with.
