The screenshots seem to indicate full Apple walled garden. Will this work on Windows?

Currently OS X only, but we built it to be cross platform so keep an eye out for Windows version.

What?, Wait... React Native have windows support? or is comming? And linux?

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.

Exactly, why would I refer my friend to a product I haven't even tried yet? That's not how referral works at all, that's how spamming works.

You should add support for desktop too, like: https://github.com/ptmt/react-native-desktop

Why not just use browser-based React inside a wrapper like Electron to build desktop apps? Is performance much better when using a desktop implementation of React Native?

That's not native, and is much bulkier and slower.

And by the time they email me an say that I can download I'll have forgotten what this project was and what all the hype was about making me less likely to use it and even less likely to spread the news.

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.

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!

Are you sure there's an app to download? No offense but this seems like some shady promotion to just build an email list. Not one person here has said they've used the application or that they've got an invite.
