Earlier quoted context omitted.

So a designer and developer were passionate enough about a framework to make a website about it. What about that bothers you? If you like the framework, and a professional website result in more people using it, then you win out. If you don't, then don't use it. Life goes on.

The fact that the site doesn't tell anything about the framework, nor it showcases it. It's megabytes and scrolling for nothing except a actual paragraph of content. [1] [1] http://idlewords.com/talks/website_obesity.htm

What about Relay and graphQL?

Great question! We are investigating adding Relay support, as well as a PostGraphQL endpoint (Postgres+GraphQL) to the soon upcoming Pepperoni Backend Kit.

Right now we've included what we know works well, and we don't yet have experience with Relay in React Native apps. Contributions welcome, though :)

Does 'futurice' rhyme with 'uterus' or how the heck to do you pronounce that name?

Haha, I work at Futurice, and I wish I knew the answer to that question :)

Here in the UK it rhymes with Avarice. In Finland it's more like Future Rice.

There's no consensus even within the company. Fortunately we're primarily the types who avoid social situations where you cannot communicate by typing.

Has anyone else noticed the trend at over-marketed "frameworks" like this with fancy graphics, lots of use of logos, etc? Maybe I'm just getting old by anymore I have a feeling of "ugh" set in when seeing that page.

No. I'm looking for exactly something like this. I'm glad it's a "bootstrap", not yet another framework. I want to try React Native but have been having trouble getting started. And I would like something with a little bit of polish.

Please take a look and let us know if you run into issues! We've just launched Pepperoni, and it's not yet as polished as we want it to be, but we'll be there soon.

For comparison's sake, check out https://github.com/bartonhammond/snowflake - it's quite similar to Pepperoni, and at this moment a bit more mature.

In the long term we want to make Pepperoni more comprehensive, documented and stable. We have some different opinions compared to Snowflake's - that's why we are building our own. A topic worth a blog post, though, too long to expand here and now.

whenever I had to compare Angularjs vs React the one key difference is that the former has ionic and the latter has React Native, to get performance non-critical out quick Ionic seems to be much easy to use comparing to React Native. I wish someone can produce a similar project on top of React-Native(or whatever modules they choose) soon.

Angular 2 has Ionic & React native ;)

This looks fantastic, just what I've been looking for. Curious to know why there doesn't seem to be any mention of fastlane [1]? I think every boilerplate mobile project should definitely include an example fastlane setup.
