I've been surprised by how much I like react-native-web. I actually find I prefer React Native development over React web development because of things like CSS-in-JS and having React feel more first class rather than just grafted onto the DOM. Excellent work by necolas.
I would be happy if someone build a tool for Exponent apps that would let them be easily targeted at the web via react-native-web, but we probably won't build it anytime soon.
We have a small team and our focus is supporting iOS and Android.
When people build for those things, there aren't always analogs for react-native-web that work, so lots of Exponent apps would feel really broken if you just tried to run them on a web browser with no changes.
A more straightforward way to target desktop computers would be for us to support the React Native on Windows and OS X targets. I'd love to do this as well, but its another thing we won't have time for anytime soon.
I do wish there was an easy solution to this though since so many developers end up frustrated when they have to build a mobile website and a mobile app, that end up slightly different. It would be a huge win for developers and users if it was possible to target iOS and Android native apps and also get a fully functional moblie website out of it as well; would be very tricky to get that right though.
