Very nifty! One question I have is that many React Native components that expose native functionality tend to have an extra step in the install process that looks like this: https://github.com/ProjectSeptemberInc/gl-react-native/raw/m... - where you have to drag in and link the library in xcode. Are these types of components handled automagically too?

#72Any info on platforms supported (Mac, Windows, Linux)? I know React Native's toolset is mostly built for OSX with some native tool dependencies (e.g. Homebrew) and am afraid this will be repeated here.

Yes, we will be applying our automagic to this in the near future. :)

#74Downvote me when I have a TON of background knowledge here, look at my damn GitHub.
Nobody is going to investigate the background of a drive-by jerk
I did look at his repo and it's respectable. Putting aside the personality issues the way we do with Terry Davis (TempleOS) I'd like to hear his complaints about this.

#75Looks nice. Here's hoping you'll do support for ClojureScript and Reagent. Or open source it and let me do it :-)

Though the current beta builds are for OS X, we built Deco with Windows and Linux in mind. So keep an eye out for those!

#77You should add support for desktop too, like:
Re: Deco Software – React Native IDE
#78OR you could just install react native CLI tools, then use the BUILT IN hot module reloading (which is basically like LiveReload for web editing), and just do it yourself without this bloated piece of thing. Look how beautiful these docs are: https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/getting-started... Now would you rather rely on something that one person made? Or would you rely on a huge group of amazing folks,…

#79Earlier quoted context omitted.
> Using require instead of module imports shows me that this product is going to have trouble keeping pace with FB, Babel, ECMA speeds. What does that mean?
Facebook releases so fast. So when something is brand new and it's already not using the latest, I feel afraid. The example project doesn't use the import syntax, it's using require, and feels like it's coming from ECMA5 in a brand new video. I just worry, can they keep up? Facebook releases breaking changes often so it's a valid concern.
It seems like you are jumping to conclusions.
Re: Deco Software – React Native IDE
#80Haha not really, it's bloated. You end up wasting time dragging a slider when you could just put in a number and enable HMR hot module reloading which is BUILT INTO REACT NATIVE. Lol.
