I'm glad to see more projects like this popping up.

React-as-paradigm is more powerful than any one particularly implementation; it's a wonderful way to describe user interfaces, and using cross-platform primitives is a perfect way to abstract design systems.

~= full disclosure - coworker is working on https://github.com/lelandrichardson/react-primitives, which I've used a bunch

While I can see what the author is attempting to do (define a common set of root components that all platforms can use with some preference libs thrown in such as from the `Animated` project), it seems like this has already been done (`react-native-web` aims to match what is present in `react-native` already) and as such this is really more of a personal micro-framework. Or is the goal to have this set of components be the base that all platforms rest on? Am I missing something?
