Earlier quoted context omitted.

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.

It looks like he's having a mental break down.

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?

I recently worked on a RN project, after months of not touching it, and found out that there's a new thing called rnpm (https://github.com/rnpm/rnpm) that solves this issue.

RNPM is pretty good, but it doesn't work with some libraries that require slightly unique initialization steps or paths. I imagine this will eventually lead to some kind of postinstall hook in the module packages, which will be picked up by RNPM.

So the commoditization of mobile development begins...

isn't it what technology is about? Commoditizing what was exclusive before.

I'm personally glad to see tools simplyfying building a mobile app. The end goal rarely being producing the app, and more along the lines of producing value through the app.

I hope it has as big of an impact as what WP did for custom CMS…
