Cool but why though? I understand for those small percentage of iPad users this will be great.

Is there a hidden demographic of devs building React apps on iPads? This seems very, very niche.

I am incredibly excited for this. As a developer, all of my mobile devices excel at doing almost everything except....development. One step closer to a realized dream.
