“People review and they care about and they rate the outcome — is Craigslist helping me do what I set out to achieve? They're not rating every little interaction that you think needs to be perfect.”

Craigslist has 4.8 stars across 450K reviews — users rate outcomes, not polish

Craigslist's React Native app holds 4.8 stars across 450K reviews despite an obviously unpolished UI. Users rate whether the app helped them accomplish their goal, not micro-interactions. Many native apps with obsessive polish don't come close. Stop apologizing for shipping React Native — outcome beats fidelity.
