In the first two weeks, we built a prototype with authentication, chat list, chat room, send messages and create channel. There is still two separate teams for native (one for iOS and one for Android) and one smaller team for React Native.

We are also working on Rocket.Chat Apps, an app store for our main platform. We decided to evaluate React Native because we wanted to try its benefits for development productivity, such as shared code between mobile and web while maintaining our native look and feel.
