The design of the website does not tell us who the maintainers / creators of the library are. At times it feels like a blessed library by the react-team. Most likely this was not intentional. It would be cool to have an about-us page where they talk about the maintainers and the "react-community".

The React team has avoided blessing any specific libraries, beyond things like Babel for JSX transformation.

React-Router is not an "official" library. As far as I know, neither is React-Navigation.

That said, I also don't know much about the ins and outs of React Native, so there _may_ be some semi-official-ish overlap between React-Navigation and React Native.

(Also, this totally causes an abbreviation clash, as "RN" now has multiple meanings. Oops.)

Having said that, the official roadmap (https://github.com/facebook/react-native/wiki/Roadmap) mentions a navigation library should be coming in Jan, and the timing and people involved seems to line up with this project.

this is indeed the project mentioned in the roadmap!

What is a blessed library?

[shekispeaks]

Blessed Library: Something that is not part of the core offering but is the recommended way of doing certain things by the core maintainers. The main reason it is not in core is that it is probably not needed by all users of core.

I would say one of the the strongest blessings is inclusion in the create-react-app boilerplate. Of course that's ReactDOM not RN. Not sure if RN has an equivalent, or if even necessary since it's a complete framework.
