Wait until you learn about “vanlords” in Los Angeles.

Ok, that doesn’t make sense to me, but Microsoft is pretty aimless these days so I won’t say it’s impossible.

Windows start menu in Android?

Your post came across pretty harsh.

Also, you probably didn’t read my whole post. The point I was making was that the primary reason to use React Native is for cross-platform development, THEREFORE it makes no sense to use it for the Windows start menu because what would be the point of porting that to another OS?

Unnecessarily biting reply. Microsoft investor perhaps?

What in tar nation? Why would they ever do such a thing? The main point of React Native is to make an application cross-platform (i.e., so it can run on multiple operating systems). What’s the point in developing a Windows Start menu that can run on macOS, Android, or whatever?

Unless they’re going for the second point of React Native, which is to be able to develop with JavaScript, which has an abundance of developers (i.e., it’s less expensive). Maybe they thought that this was the main point, regardless of performance issues.
