Show HN: Build, run and share React Native apps in your browser
rnplay.orgOne day there'll be a collection of React-Native view components which output HTML/DOM, and it will be a terrible, fantastic, horrible day.
As dumb as that sounds, it's not entirely without merit. React Native's direct goal isn't write-once-run-anywhere, it's write-once-write-anywhere. That's a good goal for a place with as many engineers as Facebook does, but smaller teams might place more importance on write-once-run-anywhere.
Because why not, right? https://github.com/necolas/react-native-web
We've gone full circle!
Were the accusations that React's license enables Facebook to steal your entire project without facing any legal consequences ever addressed?
The patent grant has been updated in April.

The updated PATENTS doc makes it clear: https://github.com/facebook/osquery/blob/master/PATENTS
That if you sue Facebook for patent infringement or if you sue any party for patent infringement related to use of (or modification you make to) Facebook "Software" then the license granted to you to use said Software will terminate.
Plain and simple. Even makes sense!
Whoah. I wasn't aware there was an issue. I'd like to get someone from FB to comment on this! Seems like an unfortunate poison pill - and perhaps the explaination as to why FB released all this React infrastructure, as leverage (although I can't help but think that any organization worth suing could afford to port an app from React to something similar).
Would love to see the ability to build Android apps too now that Android support has been released.
We're working on getting Android support along with other devices (iPhone 5/6/6+).
This has come along way in the last six months! Great work guys :)
Thanks! We have worked quite a lot in the past month to push this out.
Special thanks to Joshua who has done the groundwork with others. He's a great guy and it's been pleasure to work with him.
Really cool idea, hope to see more examples! :)
We have plans to add more examples and complete apps as well in the future.
Support for Android will come later, also landscape mode for simulator etc.
Looks like this React Native showcase is built with Angular!
Backend is powered by Rails. The editor is React app and the site is partly using React components.
