Mac only :(

It's an Electron app, so it should build for Windows without too much trouble. If you're interested, give it a shot and let us know how it goes :) None of us are Windows experts, so happy to take any pull requests for Windows support. (Or even Linux)
I'm guessing he meant Linux.
Linux support would be awesome too. Based on our beta, we got twice as many signups for Windows as Linux, so we're probably gonna prioritize Windows support unless we get a lot of sudden Linux interest.
+1 for Linux interest
Already working on getting this to run in Linux. :)

How are you going to make an iOS app without a Mac?
What's the point of using a cross-platform tool if you're only targeting Android?
What's the point of developing on Mac for Android if I don't like Macs?

Also, why am I facing a (partially hostile) interrogatory right now?

Sorry, not being hostile. Just curious why someone would use React Native if they don't have a Mac to build/test on iOS. Why not just go straight to Android?
Well... Javascript experience, code reuse between web and app, the possibility of later porting to iOS, etc.
