Facebook’s development team has decided to open-source another great tool. They’ve released a smaller project called Draft.js, which is a React.js component that lets developers build rich text editors (RTEs, also known as WYSIWYG editors).
As they explained: “Draft.js makes it easy to build any type of rich text input, whether you’re just looking to support a few inline text styles or building a complex text editor for composing long-form articles”

Fcebook announced that its React Native library is now available on Github. The library allows you to build native iOS and Android applications with JavaScript and Facebook’s React library.
React Native runs JavaScript engine in a separate background thread, which communicates with the native main thread using a batched async messaging protocol. There’s a plugin for React that uses this protocol for communication.
