React Native does not use a webview. The overhead comes from a slow DOM and other browser cruft like over-complicated CSS. We've found that Javascript itself is actually quite fast. We are no longer constrained by browser APIs. For exa

React Native doesn't presume to know how to build cross-platform apps. But we want to enable people to do that. That results in two different classes of Native components: - Cross-platform components that are nearly identical on each p

I've done a bit of work on React Native animations. We are mostly working on two experimental animation APIs. One is implemented fully in JS and is used when we need to implement gestures and respond to ongoing touch interactions. This

This is Eric, from the React Native team. We're starting with iOS and Android, which will keep us busy for the foreseeable future. That said, we will open source soon, and we'd be happy to accept help targeting other platforms!

People care about their development environment- that's why this is on the front page. GitHub has put a lot of work into Atom and it is rapidly becoming a compelling IDE for web development. If you don't care about improving devel

I agree, until Lyft runs out of money, Uber wins, and the price skyrockets. Plus there's Sidecar, which will surely die soon because nobody even knows it exists.

The article's title is "The State of Desktop Applications in Node.js", and chrome applications do not let you run node.js on the local machine. If you can't run your own userland code on the machine and talk to hardware,

You're right, but these sorts of browser apps will continue to be made because of the convenience. The cheapest browser-app integrity check that I know of is shipping the dev code, complete with source maps. Allow anyone to read and de

How does this compare to https://github.com/facebook/immutable-js ? Has anybody used both?

But your phone, at retina distances, does not fill your field of view, and putting your face close to a large screen does. The ultimate watermark will be retina-level resolution for devices like the Oculus Rift, allowing you to move your ey

At first I was excited by this feature, but you're right. Knowing Apple, they are most likely doing this so they can get rid of the SIM slot in future devices. Of course they will tout the slim device and large battery, but it is reall

Is RAM not a worthy technical specification to list? I think its pretty critical. Until somebody corrects me I'll just assume this thing has the 1GB of RAM which is pretty standard these days.. But not enough IMHO

That is surely why they have a $5 option, but why 4 hours of gameplay vs 1 day? To make the 7-day rental look like a great deal.

So instead of simply removing HTML from markdown, this spec impossibly and incorrectly attempts to include it. How frustrating..

You're missing something. Horse-like animals actually did develop cars. They only had to evolve into humans and build up a technological base before they could do it. Over a very long period of time, animals developed cars. Now that sa
