A lot of react native apps do not feel native. Even more are just low quality. Many v0 users were asking us how exactly we did X or Y to make it feel so good, which is what this post is for.

I like it. This post is the perfect level of detail for people obsessed about UX minutiae.

Personally, I'm not a huge Vercel fan (IMO: lots of hype, business model encourages developer ecosystem lock-in), but this post gave me more trust in the design/UX care that goes into their products (which is a core Vercel strength).

I am obviously bias as a Vercel employee, but I think we actually do a lot to avoid locking our users in. You can read more about our approach here: https://vercel.com/blog/vercel-the-anti-vendor-lock-in-cloud

If that doesn't alleviate your concerns or you disagree, I'd love to hear your thoughts about how we can improve

Are you serious? Your whole business model is built on locking in users and then selling them expensive hosting.

Looks good, I appreciate the level of detail especially as bad UX can cause churn on mobile. Since it's React Native, are there plans for an Android version? I guess you guys wanted to get an iOS version out first instead of releasing both in parallel, for bug testing, improvements etc?

Overall, our focus right now is iOS, but we want to do Android at some point. Even though we used React Native, we also wrote a good amount of native Swift code under the hood to power native modules.
