React Native

React Native appears in Replit Co-Founders, Amjad Masad & Haya Odeh through Amjad Masad’s Facebook chapter. After Codecademy, Amjad joined Facebook because he wanted a harder technical challenge and worked on the early React Native team, which he describes as startup-like inside a large company.

The source uses React Native mainly as a career and technical-ambition step before Replit became Amjad and Haya Odeh’s full company. Amjad even considered turning Replit into a Facebook project, but worried he would lose ownership and end up with a boss. That makes React Native part of the episode’s Founder Control and Consumer-Grade Developer Infrastructure background rather than the central product.
