Reading a bit between the lines and keeping in mind that rumour that Facebook was removing RN from some of their projects…

Could it be true? Does AirBNB see the writing on the wall somehow?

I know that RN is open source and people will continue to support it and everything will be great, but without Facebook behind it, I wonder how much traction it’ll have.




That rumor was thoroughly debunked (see the discussion in the original HN thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17216628).

Please don't repeat and spread false rumors. It cheapens discussion about legitimate technical choices that organizations make.

Where are you getting that from? The React Native team at Facebook just put out a roadmap that seemed to indicate they were still very committed to the project and investing in it:

http://facebook.github.io/react-native/blog/2018/06/14/state...

"At Facebook, we're using React Native more than ever and for many important projects. One of our most popular products is Marketplace, one of the top-level tabs in our app which is used by 800 million people each month. Since its creation in 2015, all of Marketplace has been built with React Native, including over a hundred full-screen views throughout different parts of the app."
