When I started to develop my startup’s website Windoo, I wanted to get online as soon as possible, so I went for the safest tool I had: Symfony. Backend, frontend, it is still for me the most convenient all-around framework. When came the time to build an app, I had heard of React Native so I decided to go full hybrid. So we had an Api section in our Symfony controllers, the services where in common, everything was looking good !

And then it hit me. I only used React Native on the app but didn’t think enough about the website ! So I decided that I should migrate the whole website in React as well, and leave out the classic Symfony website.

So I will relate my journey in this transition here.

Update: Why the hell did I need to migrate in the first place
