React Native + Expo is also a good option if you want to touch the iOS/Android IDEs as little as possible. You use Xcode and Android studio to install the device sims and then expos tool chain handles the rest, even for deploying to stores. If you are on a windows computer and can’t install Xcode, you can even run your iOS app directly on an iPhone with their managed app. Ignite is a great starter using RN and Expo. Some great people maintaining it. https://github.com/infinitered/ignite

I recently picked up react native, though I had a good amount of experience with React already and much of it is similar. Except for working with the file system and tooling. One good boilerplate I’d recommend having a look at is https://github.com/infinitered/ignite not a course but possibly a good resource to learn from.

I have to disagree. Writing your own boilerplate can be a great way to learn a new stack, but I think seasoned developers should use (and contribute to) projects that are maintained by the community. Whenever I come back to a boilerplate project, they're usually using the most recent versions of libraries, or they have some great new features. Examples: * Rails Composer, for Rails apps: https://github.com/RailsApps/rails-composer * Ignite, for React Native: https://github.com/infinitered/ignite I do have one hand-written script that I use for all of my static sites. It copies all the static files into a build directory, gzips HTML/CSS/JS, syncs everything to an S3 bucket, then makes an API request to Cloudflare to purge the cache. But I'm planning to move all my static sites to Netlify [1], so I won't need that script for much longer. [1]

According to the React Native Express site posted on HN a bit ago, there are 3 worth noting. Would you recommend any of these? What about one not listed here? Ignite - https://github.com/infinitered/ignite Pepperoni App Kit - https://github.com/futurice/pepperoni-app-kit Snowflake - https://github.com/bartonhammond/snowflake Source: http://www.reactnativeexpress.com/boilerplates

I can recommend Ignite ( https://github.com/infinitered/ignite ) as well, has some scaffolding capabilities.
