That's interesting. I made and launched Reapp a couple months ago and one thing I noticed was the absence of any support from the React team. Not a single retweet from the React account (who are very active at supporting community projects), not a single React team dev commented on it. I had to ask them for some love, so in response they favorited a tweet of mine.. Meanwhile the same day react-canvas launched and nearly all of them were very active helping promote it.

Needless to say I got the message. Don't step on their toes! During the React Native launch video they said, basically, "the web doesn't work for native".

Anyway, I'll continue to port the cool stuff from Native back to Reapp. I don't hold anything against them, in fact it's nice to hear they are actively pursuing bringing stuff from Native back to the web. I look forward to seeing what comes of this.

I don't think this was intentional, and I'm sorry if it came off that way. We've certainly pointed people interested in building mobile apps at TouchstoneJS and I'll point people at Reapp too now that I know about it – obviously React Native isn't appropriate in all situations. Will try to keep an eye out and retweet some stuff of yours in the future.

I think this is more of a product of staying focused on what they need to work on. I would have been surprised if they did actively help you guys enhance Reapp. I mean just by open sourcing react native they are making huge contributions.

Not trying to just back them for no reason, but I'm happy with what they are giving the community.

No doubt, they are all great people. It may have just been misunderstanding, but the cumulative effect just felt that way.

I love React and their team, and am incredibly positive on the future of what FB is doing.
