A cool example: [this video] But better to just block 5 mins in your calendar and try it: [LINK] Don't play with this if you like hot-reload or hot-refresh features in react or jrebel or whatever. You will forever see these other approaches as lame in comparison... speaking from someone who was previously very happily ignorant, living my best life on the JRebel side of the fence.

David Nolen gave a relevant talk[0] about the workflow they use to integrate Clojure and React Native for mobile and web development at the company vouch.io. You say "I'd like to reuse the frontend part of the web app", their methodology involves using Storybook.js to ensure their React components are truly stateless and may be re-used across environments. As I understand it they have released some of their mobile dev REPL tooling under an open-source license (Krell). Good luck! [0] [this video]

That's right. You typically would have your text editor/ide open, and the process you're developing would expose a repl port which your editor can connect to. As you edit the source code, that will automatically update the code running in the process you're debugging. See this demo of developing a ClojureScript React Native mobile app published yesterday: [this video]
