A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Technically React DOM doesn't need a browser either - it works fine with Node.js + jsdom for example, or really any JS engine. Tests written using React Testing Library don't use a browser. There's also React Server Components, and React can be used to render non-HTML content too.
Why would someone use React DOM on iOS when React Native exists, though? That's the part I don't understand. The core concepts are the same between the two, and you can share a large amount of code between a React web app and a React Native mobile app (even moreso if you use react-native-web for the web app).
