What should our mobile strategy be?

What should our mobile strategy be?“React Native. Keep every native escape hatch open.”Greg Hollis, The Hedger

💡 WHY GREG IS RIGHT

Cross-platform is attractive precisely because the future is uncertain. A shared React Native app minimizes duplicated work now, while native modules and clear platform boundaries preserve options later. The trick is treating the framework as a reversible implementation choice rather than letting every layer depend on it. If the product grows, the team can progressively move hot paths or whole surfaces native without rewriting everything at once.

✅ RIGHT WHEN

The team wants shared delivery today without declaring the architecture permanent.

🚩 TOO FAR WHEN

Every abstraction exists in case we eject later, and nobody ever chooses a direction.
