React Native has come a long way since an internal prototype at Facebook to where it is now.

Thanks to its reduced development time with hot reloading to its focus on runtime performance with natively rendered views, React Native has gained traction with large-scale companies like Shopify and Tesla. Web developers have made the leap from the browser to mobile bringing with them all of their tools and expertise, and it is consistently the most popular cross-platform framework.
Good news for Node.js developers using AppSignal: a new version of our Node.js library is available on npm with improved error tracking. We’ve added two new helpers to make your life easier as a Node.js developer. One helper allows you to track errors whenever you need to, no matter how many nested spans you have in your current context. The other lets you send an isolated error with no spans or context involved (for more information about spans, check out our docs).
