>React Navigation, released a few weeks ago,

Wow, you guys have a tight curve you're staying ahead of :-)

React Navigation is a module for React (which has been around for four years). Instead of having to DIY navigation, you now can use the native system's (iOS/Android) navigation layout. Ex: https://reactnavigation.org/

You're not replacing your tools. You're just getting someone else to coat your drill bits for you to save time.

I just started using React today, so I may be off here, but I think it's pretty straightforward if you googled it.

Otherwise, if you're referring to how "bleeding edge" the guy has to be, I'd imagine he's in a competitive field (or passionate about his projects).

Hell, I'm not in either of those categories, but I think I'll start using this because it looks really helpful.

I removed the language you quoted :). Most programmers don't change the oil they use to coat their drill bits, every few weeks either :)

Edit: thanks.

In case you're implying this was a "beat them to market" situation, it wasn't. Both navigation projects have been on React Native's public roadmap for several months: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/wiki/Roadmap/_compa...

Improved navigation has been one of the RN community's highest-voted feature requests: https://react-native.canny.io/feature-requests/p/better-navi...

There you go again. You're saying 'several months' like someone else might say "years."

These are insanely short time-frames. (Which is what I was pointing out.) These developers are adjusting much, much more quickly than other developers in other domains. That's all I was pointing out :)
