Covid-19 React Native Exposure Notification

Apple and Google are working hard to roll out their exposure notification api. Only approved public authorities will have access to the api. However, Google publicly released the proposed Android interface.Based on that interface, I wrote a react native module to bind to it. I have no idea if any public health authorities will be using react native, but if they are, maybe this could give them a...

I built dotstow as a simple way to combine 2 really great technologies, git and stow.

Exactly :)

The Code component would do a poor job at nesting code in a body. The point of this project is to make it easy to generate code through an AST, hence the <Code /> "catch call".

Great feedback. The points you make are good. Listed below are the reasons I chose to go with react.

1. I'm getting my feet wet with React rendering (I will be building a full react renderer in the future for another project)

2. It may be useful in the future for dynamic code editing (not sure but a possible use case)

3. Though react really shines in the render lifecycle, it does provide a nice pattern for building components. I see this project being used as a way to componentize composable code generators and snippets.
