React Native: A year in review

When trying it for Android it didn't feel like a help at all.

I still had to set up all this mobile dev environment boilerplate...

Hey, I work on React Native. I'm curious what you meant by setting up the dev environment boilerplate and how we could fix it. Was it the setup described here? http://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/android-setup.ht...

Seems like it still needs a huge chunk of Android-SDK and VM and stuff. I was like "I'm doing React for a year now, lets try this on an afternoon", but then I had some issues that didn't even had something to do with React Native that prevented me from getting things running.

Well, maybe I'm too pampered from web-development, haha

If you want to just try RN without any setup you can try https://rnplay.org/

let me guess, you were hoping for

    npm install -g react-native
    git clone http://github.com/facebook/react-native/android-boilerplate
    cd ....
    npm run

Something like that, yes.

Mobile development feels a bit clunky to me :\
