Assuming the person you're talking about was me, I'm curious what it was I said that made me seem less enthusiastic? I always try to be as honest as possible in my interviews, and I don't think my enthusiasm has changed much

to clarify: we never "switched: to our own navigation library. We built our own from the start, and have never switched.

> the AirBnB team even stopped using it seriously This just isn't true. Airbnb is actively using React Native a lot and has not "stopped using it seriously". I'm not sure where you got this impression. Some people res

Hello, I work at Airbnb and helped Jon with this project a bit. A lot of people when they first learn about this project have a hard time understanding how it would be useful - so you're not alone! I tweeted ([0]) about this briefly an

Stay tuned. It will work on the web as well :) (Note that you can do this _already_ with bodymovin on the web if you want to)

I'm not sure what you mean by this? The react-native version does nothing but wrap the ios/android libraries (which are CoreAnimation and Canvas based, respectively)

It doesn't yet, but I hope to work in integrating these two very very soon. We have to figure out what this will look like on Android, as the TransitionCoordinator on iOS doesn't have an exact equivalent on Android.

I plan on adding a React API for the bodymovin library in addition the react native library. They will likely have identical interfaces.

Great question. Right now playing the animation with the imperative API in React Native will be driven entirely on the main thread, but the declarative API with `Animated` will not be (yet). I'm very interested in building the proper h

That's a fair point... but I guess the primary point I was making was that it's important for the founders themselves to understand this dynamic. Their interests and the investors' interests are not perfectly aligned.

Yikes. This is the first I've heard of such an issue, but I will make sure and address this right away. What version of safari?

Thanks for the feedback, and for trying it out. Was it clear that that page was skippable, and that the years experience were optional? I will take another look at the signup process. While I want it to be quick, the onboarding process is i

Funny... I actually created some store mixins to do the exact same thing. I've done it slightly different than you... rather than using `mergeDeep` in `this.setState`, I created some other methods such as `this.setStateAtPath(path, val

This looks to be a well-put-together implementation of flux. I recently looked over around 20 or so flux libraries to use for a react app I had started, and found only a couple that I liked. I would put this one near the top, but the one I

Obviously, doing this is not super-readable, but it can be fun thought-experiments or brain-teasers. There was a post I wrote about doing something similar a little while back [1] [1]: http://tech.pro/blog/2097/

Interestingly enough, I had just about the opposite experience when I signed up for twitter. I created my account around 2 yrs ago I think... maybe a little longer. When I signed up, I remember the onboarding process being a bit similar in

it would be great if you could apply this to tweets or something more generic like a personal blog. (i feel like tweets would be easy... blog would be harder to parse reliably). As someone who uses twitter a fair amount, and barely uses fa
