React Native v0.28-rc released


Hopefully you still have some appetite left for React Native, cause you definitely need to put some [Pepperoni](https://twitter.com/getpepperoni/) on it.

Pepperoni is a React Native starter kit, but honestly, it is much much more.  
Don't you believe it? Well, let's play a game. Name an essential part of your React Native application's stack.  
No, seriously, too much stuff to mention, you need to check it [yourself](https://github.com/futurice/pepperoni-app-kit/blob/master/README.md).  
And it just get [started](http://getpepperoni.com/#what).

## [Pepperoni](http://getpepperoni.com/)

## [pepperoni-app-kit](https://github.com/futurice/pepperoni-app-kit) on GitHub

> Getting started on a new app just takes too damn long, though. Most apps need the same basic building blocks and developer infrastructure, and we are bored of reinventing the wheel time and time again.
>
> This Starter Kit reflects the best practices of React Native development we have discovered while building real-world applications for our customers. It is opinionated about tooling, patterns and development practices. It might not be a one-size-fits-all solution for everyone, but feel free to customize it for your needs, or just take inspiration from it.
>
> This project was initially motivated by [Snowflake](https://github.com/bartonhammond/snowflake), a React Native boilerplate by Barton Hammond. It shares some features and design principles for Pepperoni, but it wasn't the right fit for our needs. At this time Snowflake is more mature, so if you like Pepperoni but didn't agree with something we are doing, you should check it out to see if it's a good fit for your app.

React Native App Starter Kit for Android and iOS


There's not much to add this time.  
Go. Grab. It.

Ok, if you didn't got hyped much since March, when Deco was announced and screencasted, then:

> ### What is Deco?
>
> Deco is an IDE for React Native. It's an all-in-one solution for writing React Native apps that you can download and use without any environment setup. Deco improves the React Native development workflow by focusing on component reuse and enabling you to edit your UI in real time.
>
> When you try Deco, make sure you check out:
>
> #### Component Search & Insert
>
> Search a collection of zero-setup components (sourced from this registry). The component's code and import statements are generated automatically when you drag the component into your code. Dependencies are installed automatically. You can access this same feature directly from the text editor with the cmd+i hotkey.
>
> #### Real-Time Tweaking
>
> Change any value in your code in real-time. Just alt+click a literal value (number, string, boolean) in your code to add it to the inspector, where you can then tweak it easily. Don't forget to turn on hot-reload in your simulator with cmd+D.
>
> ####  New File Scaffolds
>
> Writing boilerplate sucks! Create new React Components instantly!

## [Deco, the React Native IDE](https://www.decosoftware.com)

And also, if you didn't like it enough, Deco is now Open Source!

React Native v0.27.1 released


While [Navigator API](http://facebook.github.io/react-native/releases/0.26/docs/navigator-comparison.html) was supposed to be a quick way to get React Native ready for the world, it is still one of the its most addressed "[product pains](https://productpains.com/post/react-native/better-navigator-api-and-docs/)" today.

The good news is, a lot work was put from the community and the team to improve the Navigator API and put it in parity with the React Native's DX and paradigms.

You should rejoice knowing that forces have joined into a new set of [APIs](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/tree/master/Libraries/NavigationExperimental) and [Components](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/tree/master/Libraries/CustomComponents/NavigationExperimental) gathered under the "Navigation Experimental" umbrella.

> - Redux-style navigation logic is easy to reason about
> - Navigation state can be easily saved and restored through refreshes
> - Declarative navigation views can be implemented in native or JS
> - Animations and gestures are isolated and now use the Animated library

If you're not a big fan of breaking changes, you should note that Navigation Experimental is still a moving target, but with the help of [Nader Dabit](https://twitter.com/dabit3) great article about it, you could start grasping its benefits.
