Wouldn't using the second parameter of .then() to catch exceptions work instead of .catch()?

http://stackoverflow.com/a/33278420

Yes, but if the success handler throws you won't catch it. For example:

  promise.then(function(){
    throw new Error('Oh no, not caught');
  }, function(err){

  });

But this will catch it:

  promise.then(function(){
    throw new Error('Oh no!');
  }).catch(function(err){
    // Caught it ;)
  });

As will this:

  promise.then(function(){
    throw new Error('Oh no!');
  }).then(null, function(err){
    // Caught it ;)
  });

Point being that your error handling need to be absolute last, and not paired with a success handler.

It doesn't matter. The problem is that `callback(null)` throws, and in the `Promise` land this will never result in an uncaught exception. An exception directly inside any `Promise` callback produces another `Promise` in the chain instead.

You could at best use `setTimeout` or `nextTick` to escape from `Promise`'s call stack and throw there.

Good point! I thought of solving the callback getting called twice problem and didn't think of the bigger picture that mocha needs to catch the assertion error. I like the setTimeout/nextTick trick (well, ideally use Promises and async/await instead).

Does anyone know what the story of accessibility is like for React Native apps? Hope it's not as sad as it generally is on the web. I imagine it's about as good as native apps, but curious if anyone knows specifics.

From my experience (as a dev) it's pretty good. You have to explicitly turn off accessibility features like dynamic type (larger fonts based on a global user setting) and VoiceOver works just fine with the default <Text> component. Since it's a native app React Native seems to have better support for these things than a WebView base like cordova.

However, I am not a disabled person, just a curious dev, so I'd definitely defer to someone with more experience using accessibility tools. Just saying it looks pretty good on the surface to me.

Feel free to point me in the direction of a react native app - I would be happy to test it with Voiceover and let you know how well it works.

I use Firefox for everything except DevTools. Mostly because they are slow.

Also I'm not a fan of how objects/arrays are handled in the console. It feels unnatural to click on an object and move my eyes to the right side of the console to drill down into properties.

I love the being able to find any website
