I love it. The only things that could be improved are: - some components in the ecosystem are more hobby projects and have trouble keeping up with React's API, even though it's small. - Documentation for react-native could be a bit better (but react-native is amazing). - I still haven't found a nontrivial and non-bloated example of react hot loader config, and getting it working on an existing project seems to be a bit of an art. - Not all open source components are listed in NPM (but they should be). - Still waiting for more info on Relay, which while cool, has created some uncertainty about best practices. - Fluxxor is a great flux lib but isn't widely enough acclaimed as the clear winner, though it seems to be (though nothing wrong with competition). Everyone I've introduced to React was a bit skeptical at first but now loves it and can't believe what life was life before.

Hi grandalf! Which sections do you think are most lacking in the react native documentation? I've put some time into improving it this week by adding: - https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/animations.html#content https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/animations.html... - https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/direct-manipulation.html#content https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/direct-manipula... - https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/navigator-comparison.html#content https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/navigator-compa... I'd love to hear where you think I should be spending my efforts next.

  That Navigator Comparison doc is excellent. I suggest you link to it toward the top of the Navigator and NavigatorIOS docs. A few things I've found confusing: - What is the best way to implement Stripe checkout in a React Native app. I'm a bit surprised nobody has done this yet so wondering if I'm missing something. - What is the status of the ReactExtensionsManager project? Is that going to be officially supported? What is the plan for modules? Where does Cocoapods fit in? - Will we always have to drag/drop things using XCode to use some 3rd party components. It would be great to eliminate the need for that. - Is there a way to wrap a native component without using Objc? From the tutorial it looks like an objc header file is always required, but it's not 100% clear why. It seems like the recommendation do React Native developers would be to just stick with Objc as the IOS language to focus on (aside from RN) - What is the timeline for releases that cover the rest of the native SDK's major APIs (like payments)? So I think these fall into the big picture project organization bucket or maybe the FAQ bucket.
