The natural choice if your team already knows React - real native UI components, not a webview, with a large ecosystem (Expo especially) around it.
Where react-native fits, based on its real tags and topics.

“The most approachable of the major frontend frameworks - official docs and tooling are exceptionally well designed for newcomers.”
“The most widely adopted framework for chaining LLM calls, tools, and retrieval into real applications - a near-default starting point for RAG and agent projects.”
“The default choice for production React today - server components, file-based routing, and first-class deployment story make it the fastest path from idea to shipped app.”
The Postgres development platform. Supabase gives you a dedicated Postgres database to build your web, mobile, and AI applications.
“A genuinely open-source Firebase alternative - real Postgres underneath, with auth, storage, and realtime built in rather than a proprietary database.”
“Compiles to real native code (not a WebView wrapper) with one Dart codebase covering iOS, Android, web, and desktop - the widest cross-platform reach available.”
“Google's preferred language for Android development - more concise and null-safe than Java, and increasingly used for backend/multiplatform code too.”
“The language every modern iOS/macOS app is built in today - fast, type-safe, and tightly integrated with Apple's frameworks.”
“The industry-standard container orchestrator - not always necessary at small scale, but the default assumption for any serious cloud-native platform team.”
“The most capable open-source relational database available - strong standards compliance, extensions for nearly everything (including full-text search and vectors), and a default choice for good reason.”
“Unifies dozens of LLM providers behind a single API, making model switching almost effortless in production.”
“The standard library for working with open-weight models - thousands of pretrained models are one line of code away.”
“The modern default frontend build tool - native ESM in dev means a dev server that starts and reloads almost instantly, even on large apps.”
“The open-source engine behind Docker - understanding containers here pays off no matter which orchestrator sits on top later.”
