Always nice to see a Cross-platform mobile framework that's not cross-platform itself :) *nix only for now.

Cross-platform on mobile isn't the same as cross-platform on desktop, so there really isn't any irony there.

Android, iOS, Linux, and OS X are all Unix-like, and Windows is... Windows. There's a ton more work that goes into supporting Windows than a *nix variant.

Android and iOS are surely not UNIX.

They don't offer the full POSIX API.

I wrote (asterisk)nix, but HN turned it into italics. I'll change my comment to say "Unix-like" instead.

To be fair , so is React Native, calling itself cross platform but not running on Windows ( not even sure it runs on Linux either, AFAIK it's mac only ).

This is due to Apple's proprietary toolchain which is required to develop for iOS.

There's a React Native for Android, which has the same problem.

We're making progress towards linux and windows fyi

Do you have any news on when Linux will be supported in the stable release?
