I tried submitting a reddit thread (https://www.reddit.com/r/reactjs/comments/474odi/what_about_...), but it didn't get much traction... I think because the videos got pulled. I hope you guys don't mind if I ask this question here, and I apologize if I'm being naive in some way:

Aditya Punjani's later Flipkart talk (https://youtu.be/m2tvYGCdOzs) mentioned the importance of mobile web apps and 60 FPS.

Ben Alpert's talk mentioned (https://youtu.be/-RJf2jYzs8A?t=1378) "React Native for the web" would be awesome.

There was even a lightning talk on react-native-web which attempts to do this using the traditional DOM (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBg2_uQE4KM)

Whatever happened to Flipboard's React Canvas (http://engineering.flipboard.com/2015/02/mobile-web/ and https://github.com/Flipboard/react-canvas) being a solution to these problems? There's pretty good browser availability and although there's currently no perfect solutions for things like accessibility, SEO, or server-side rendering... I failed to se a real "nail in the coffin". Did it just never gather enough momentum?
