I'm very excited about this, but can someone please write something down? The videos are nice an all, but information-wise they're incredibly low-density. If I have an hour to spend on React Native, I'd rather read for 10 minutes and experiment for the remaining 50...
From watching the talk, it seems they have rushed a bit and are not in a good place to release code, docs, etc. The speaker implied that fundamental pieces are still changing rapidly. In all that rush, I doubt anybody has the hours necessary to write a nice blog post.
It's interesting that they are making a private repo available to attendees. I suppose they want to get some feedback and start some hype but also want to ensure a smooth initial public release.
Perhaps some community members with access to the private repo will blog their own impressions, if that's not discouraged?
Did you try that with this video? I had enough trouble with the speaker rushing words in a thick accent at normal speed (not even meant as a criticism...just one of those things you come across at these conferences).
Sometimes speeding up just isn't a viable option. I'm glad I had the time to watch the whole video last night, but I too am looking forward to blog posts, documentation, and code releases. Way easier for me to digest quickly, and at my own pace.
I actually don't find him that difficult to understand at 1.5x. But it's probably a matter of exposure -- as a German living in Europe I'm used to all kinds of European accents in English and common mispronunciations, whereas I'd probably barely be able to keep up if it was an Indian accent, for example.
I watched it at 1.5x and it's perfectly understandable, although it's probably because, like @pluma, I'm also a non native english speaker living in Europe.
Well, if you weren't watching the talk in person you're going to have to wait for them to release React native in earnest. Fortunately the talk is only 30 minutes so you've got another 30 minutes to do something else?
