From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It's in the article. Web based stuff with REACT.
Edit: It's REACT Native. Just read the fucking article, people.
Oh man PWA as a replace to traditional apps have been promised for a while. On one hand the promise of write once run anywhere on the other less ability to lock down your app from your users (good for us, but not popular in the mobile space at the moment)
PWAs are great if they're written well, especially if they allow offline access.
There's platforms like React Native where the apps are native on each platform (they use native UI widgets). You can't just run the same code, but you can reuse probably 90-95% of code across platforms.
I will have to check that out!
