NativeWind vs twrnc for react native(+web) Tailwind solution?

Seems like NativeWind is a bit newer and has a nice Babel plugin that makes it feel like developing for web, but twrnc has been around a bit longer and has more interesting functionalities like ios: android:.

Has anyone tried either?

I’ve used both and think I prefer nativewind. They’re both great though

Also don’t use react native for web.

You’ll end up spending more time fiddling with it to work on both platforms than if you just had a separate codebase IMO

Theo recommends against it too, don’t remember which video he talked about it

If you need to use both web and native I’d checkout create-t3-turbo
