Yeah, this is an important question. I don't have answer for you and neither do the people in charge of the fetch API. It's an issue with promises not being cancelable. There's probably a reasonable argument that promises jus

Generally you don't actually use Redux in your component. Instead, you'd expose the action creators required by your component. Then the user has to make sure that the new state created from your actions gets back to your componen

I know this is malicious to those who want the web to be open, but I love it. Not because I particularly agree with the motive, but it's just such a cool demonstration of the power of React. Doing this has never been so easy. Google ha

Interestingly the developers of this platform have chosen to adopt the "write once, run everywhere" mantra. It appears they've also chosen to provide a unified visual framework, which means no native feel. Can someone from th

You also appear to not know how it works. React Native doesn't use a web view at all. It uses JavaScriptCore to process UI updates to native views.

My favourite talk was only 5 minutes long and came from Elie Rotenberg[0]. He demonstrated how React can be used to completely obfuscate the DOM tree. In practice it seems somewhat malicious to do this, however there may be some legitimate

I'd like to see what demos you're referring to. React Native runs as 60fps. It's native code, so if there's any problems with performance it's not JS that's the issue.

These tools exist in Javacript. I'm not saying C# is inferior at all, but JS is not inferior to C# here. TypeScript/Flow are backwards compatible with JS so you can add static typing to your JS at any time. React Native is capable

The reasoning is that with Xamarin you're still writing imperative code (AFAIK) whereas React is declarative. The result from a perspective of creating UI is that it's much faster and easier to create a UI in React. I don't t

React Native supports this.

Uhh, well it's probably pretty high. Considering their adoption rate for new software is sitting somewhere around 95%. iCloud backups default to on - just like automatic updates - when the user sets up their phone. Not to mention most

React Native applications will be faster to develop thanks to React being inherently fast to develop. I would expect a React Native app to perform the same or better than Xamarin, due to React Native's asynchronous bridge approach. I d

I don't know about that in this case. Take a look at the collapsable menu on the left for OS X and Windows - one has icons and one doesn't. The icons at the top are ordered completely differently by the looks of it. That's no

I usually try to be positive but these changes don't look good. It looks like some overzealous designer started making UX decisions they weren't qualified to make and now the app is unusable. I'm a huge SourceTree fan - I use

Wow the comments in here are awful. How about some constructive discussions folks? If you're not impressed by React or don't think it's useful, what, if anything, can we say or show you to convince you otherwise? I'm ass

To elaborate, the base stations project infrared in a way that can be picked up by the HMD. The HMD then sends back position and orientation.

There are indeed competing standards but Valve has introduced OpenVR which is what Steam games will use, which is sure to be an important factor for VR studios. I suspect OpenVR will be the common choice going forward.

Thanks for the thoughtful response. I absolutely agree with the idea of rewriting to learn, so I suppose that was an oversight in my original post. Keep it up, and nice work on tEmbO.

Valid points, however I think most people would agree these things are important when you have multiple people working on a project. That's my opinion, anyway.

This is cool Guilherme, however my strongest reaction to these rewrites is always: why? I think as a portfolio piece there's something to be said about the value of showing that you can write your own rendering engine. But at the same

I cannot. However the performance of the apps on my colleagues' phones serves as enecdotal evidence IMO.

Performance is the major problem. Getting the code to run isn't really an issue anymore.

This is interesting, definitely. One thing people should be aware of if they're new to the React Native environment is that this technology comes built in. It is a big reason why React Native is such a huge success so far. You don&#x27

Pretty easy when pretty much anything with any version of Android OS on it constitutes as "Android". For comparison, as of February 8th, 94% of all iOS devices are on iOS 8 or later, with 82% of those on iOS 9.

There are plenty of front ends for NPM so hopefully you guys can figure out something for this!
