How to add `create-react-native-app` and `react-navigation` projects?

[michaelrambeau]

On Twitter, Brent Vatne (GitHub profile) told us that we should include 2 projects among the "React Ecosystem" projects:

• https://github.com/react-community/create-react-native-app
• https://github.com/react-navigation/react-navigation

In Best of JS, these 2 projects are tagged under React Native tag and not under React, that's why they don't show up in Rising Stars.

So we have 2 options.

Option A

Include also React Native projects in the "React ecosystem" category

Doing this, and exluding both React and React Native projects, the TOP 10 would change like this:

No more React Boilerplate and Recompose, that are mentioned in the comments.

That's why we could show more projects maybe, 15 instead of 10, for example.

Option B

Add a React Native category... but we would have to add comments.

I'm leaning towards option A, but I don't have a very strong preference. Showing 15 projects instead of 10 could make sense because there have been a lot of interesting projects in the React ecosystem over the last year, and the React ecosystem includes web, native, and other render targets.

If we add a React Native category we'd have to add some of the React Ecosystem libraries to the list too, or it wouldn't make much sense (StoryBook, React Router, Recompose are all cross-platform). We'd also need to add React Navigation to both because it supports web. As a result, the top libraries would be almost half duplicates between React Ecosystem and React Native.

Another small yak shave -- I wonder if we are missing other libraries from the React Native list from the Best of JS website here. One that comes to mind is React Native Web.

Last yak shave, perhaps it is reasonable to combine Ant Design, Ant Design Pro, and Ant Design Mobile under one entry? If not, the results are skewed a bit because many libraries use a monorepo approach (eg: React Router has a packages directory which includes the base library, DOM, Native and others under one repo).

Thank you very much @brentvatne We updated the "React Ecosystem" to include both "React" and "React Native" projects. Could you let us know it's OK for you, now?

By the way, if you wanted to write comments about the React ecosystem, we would be very proud to mention you as "Guest Writer", like we did with Evan You 😉 .

hey @michaelrambeau - looks great. I could add a comment here if you like, I think it's probably fine as it is though :)

Thank you for having checked Brent @brentvatne Next year, if you don't mind, I will ask you the comments about the "React Ecosystem" category... be patient! 😄

sounds good!
