This looks really interesting and I'd love to try it, but these "refer your friend to jump ahead in line" tactics are pretty annoying. Stop pushing people to share it before they've even tried it, and let them share it after they actually enjoy using it.

I agree. I can't preach something that I haven't experienced yet !

Any 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.

Thanks for asking this question. I couldn't find it anywhere on the site. Should probably be added as a separate entry on top ("Platforms" or something).

This looks like a really cool piece of software, but I think a lot of it's best features should be unbundled or made available in the IDE you already use.

Namely:

* Simple package search + install without opening a web browser * React-native hot-reloading * Scaffolding of added components, with required props filled in

I really don't want to use a different IDE, and lose everything I've got in my current IDE - I use webstorm, so this would be Live Templates, key bindings, etc.

That said, I'm really excited to see people building software that makes building react-native apps easier. It's not that it's too difficult right now - rather, it's awesome that the development workflow is so hackable, and that the react-native (and react) ecosystems seem to be evolving so rapidly, and are so willing to try out new ideas.

Anyways, nice work Deco Software, keep it up :-)

Android is over 70% of the market.

But Apple is over 60% of the market, which a more important metric for most developers. https://tctechcrunch2011.files.wordpress.com/2015/04/2015-q1... (I'm an Android guy myself, just trying to be realistic)

But React apps aren't the kind you sell (like games), instead they are typically used to display data from a server - rather than process it.

Take a look at the showcase, all these apps are free! https://facebook.github.io/react-native/showcase.html

We've got so many beta requests, we can't process them fast enough. So, just refer as many people as you can, and we'll bump you up somewhere in the "waiting list". Ingenious. ;-)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

>It's pointless No, it's not. Prototyping.

Here's how you prototype: npm install -g react-native react-native init myproject cd myproject # open xcode simulator or android emulator # make changes to index.ios.js and read the damn docs # otherwise you end up dragging slides and dragging drop # having no idea what actually goes on behind the scenes # when if you learned what went on behind the scenes # you could code so so much faster and have so much more cont…
