as the title stating , is this project no longer being maintained , because I like to work with Angular more than React and I'm sure that there is lots of developers who share the same interest , so before putting efforts and time trying to make this renderer work with the latest React Native , does it still maintained by Angular ?

This project has always only been an experiment, it is not suited to build real applications. Alternatives such as Ionic or NativeScript (or others) would be more appropriate.

I'm coming from the world of Ionic and NativeScript , Ionic is fine but it's UI is'nt that good, they aren't putting enough effort on the UI , NativeScript UI is lagy and it's glitching all the time , and the performance is similar to Ionic actually , the only benefits I can see of using NativeScript is (Native UI & accessing the OS API) , other than that, it still needs lots of work , that's why I switched to React Native , as the performance is almost like if it was coded using Native , but I still don't like the way React is dealing with component etc , and by searching I found this , which was like it might work for me...but unfortunately I have to stick with React then xD .

@mlaval so sad...

If I were in charge, I'd allocate a lot of resources to this idea.

We're using Cordova for an Angular hybrid project atm (we scrapped Ionic fairly quickly) and the only other serious alternative is React Native. The problem with Cordova isn't really Cordova itself, its these stupid Webviews your app runs in. The worst of them is iOS' (WebKit) webview, which is glitchy and is the cause of thousands of gray hairs on myself and my peers.

The promise of using native style views, AND Angular, sounds almost too good to be true. I guess it was... :(

@larssn , what keeps you from being in charge? Fork the project and allocate a lot of resources. It is simple :)

I'm willing to contribute as well :)
