Build high performance native mobile apps with React Native

React Native is changing the mobile application development landscape with it's ground breaking way of writing native apps with JavaScript. React Native converts React components into truely _native_ components (Yes, No WebViews) on mobile platforms without compromising native user experience. Companies like Facebook, Airbnb, SoundCloud, Myntra etc. are already using React Native in their production apps and many more joining the tribe each day (Check it our yourself http://facebook.github.io/react-native/showcase.html). So, how about we take a look into the future?
