re: react-navigation, I am one of the two primary maintainers of this project and I started working on it in January of this year because it was in a pretty rough state. I think it has come a long way in that time even though there is still plenty to do. I would love to hear what simple things have taken hours for you when using it, feel free to reach out on Twitter in DM @notbrent or email brent at expo dot io. Also, the roadmap for our next major version is here: https://github.com/react-navigation/react-navigation/issues/....

I can't speak to the original intentions of the authors, but I suspect it might be related to difficulty of making significant changes to the project due to some strongly held beliefs.
An example: react-native depends on alpha/beta versions of react, and libraries in the react-native ecosystem tend to include a peer dependency on react (eg: react >= 15). React 16.0.0-alpha.12 will not satisfy this range, but 16.0.0 will. It's unclear to me in what way it is useful to exclude pre-release versions, and this causes a lot of confusion for users. I posted about it here: https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/8854 and it was shutdown for ideological reasons, rather than practical considerations. On the other hand, someone submitted a patch to yarn to improve this behaviour and it was quickly accepted: https://github.com/yarnpkg/yarn/pull/3361.

There is some undesirable horizontal scrolling on this page for me (mbp 13") -- fixed by adding `overflow: hidden` to `div role="main"` element.

It integrates with it using the snack-sdk: https://github.com/expo/snack-sdk
repl.it integrates this with their classrooms product to make it into a structured learning tool with assignments and automatic evaluation of solutions. Direct link to the course: https://repl.it/community/classrooms/17650

Sorry about that, the site was down for about 6 minutes around when you visited it.

We use Apollo for the http://expo.io/ client and have found it to be extremely pleasant to use. I love how flexible it is too -- you can use it for weird things like building an ORM layer for SQLite. For example: https://github.com/brentvatne/apollo-sqlite-experiment/blob/... -- the queries here go through a custom NetworkInterface which use a pretty simple graphql resolver (https://github.com/brentvatne/apollo-sqlite-experiment/blob/...) built on graphql-anywhere to pull the data out of the DB.

Here's a fun example of a pretty common UI pattern -- the header transitions into another as you scroll, and the hero image scales / fades depending on scroll position too: https://sketch.expo.io/SyVvB3Hjx -- it uses React Native's native animated driver with ScrollViews :)

Sketch, create-react-native-app and React Native Express are a great combo I think ;)
(for people who aren't aware of it, React Native Express is a fantastic site for getting your bearings with React Native: http://www.reactnativeexpress.com/)

I'm confused what the point of your comment is. If you can do it natively you can do it with React Native. "The jump" for any app from not including Rollout-style invocations to including them is the same if it's a React Native app or a normal native app, and these can all be determined by static analysis by Apple during the review process.

Hi there!
- This guide from Microsoft explains how to use typescript: http://www.reactnative.tools/tutorials/2016/09/20/reactnativ...
- This is a bit old but could help with Mocha setup: https://formidable.com/blog/2016/02/08/unit-testing-react-na...
Hope that helps!

Hello!
The examples use a navigation library that is implemented entirely in JavaScript and it does not currently aim for 100% accuracy for platform gestures and animations. Pure JS navigation is a work in progress with React Native but, in my eyes, it's the ideal end-state (see a post I wrote here for more info: https://blog.expo.io/good-practices-why-you-should-use-javas...), but to get there we need some more powerful low level primitives such as a better gesture API.
If you prefer to trade-off customizability for platform-specific animations, you can use NavigatorIOS with Expo/CRNA - https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/navigatorios.ht.... If you eject, you can use a library like react-native-navigation (https://github.com/wix/react-native-navigation) which bridges the native navigation APIs, or an upcoming library from Airbnb which they use in their app.
Also, I'm curious which examples stood out to you. The "Growler Prowler" app intentionally pushes a screen on top without sharing a navbar, even though this is possible, because this works better for the detail screen. See the beautiful PocketCasts app (https://www.shiftyjelly.com/pocketcasts/) for the design inspiration there.
Hope that helps!
