It's interesting how differently you can look at things. I would consider the best time to start a React Native project to be sometime next year, and after 1.0

It's interesting how differently you can look at things. I would consider the best time to start a React Native project to be sometime next year, and after 1.0 ideally. It's exactly when you jump on the bleeding edge that you end up with cuts and bruises. For every new shiny thing you'll be trading your current known problems for a set of unknowns and the inability to even Google-search for the solution. Let the tinkerers do the bleeding, and only once they've buffed the sharp parts can you as a company like Shopify start to bet on it. It seems module and library handling was just revamped in React Native (not a user myself yet, perhaps next year), so thank you for your sacrifice. Developers picking up RN today will hopefully have a smoother experience.
