Mickael Jurret, CTO of Beepeers, discussed the migration to React Native at a meetup, highlighting its advantages like shared code between iOS and Android and accelerated development times. The transition involved a thorough analysis of existing technologies and a difficult learning curve, compounded by the need for mobile expertise and the evolving nature of the technology. Beepeers began implementing React for new web sites in 2016, with a dedicated team formed in 2018 to facilitate this transition.
