It'd be great if they showed a screenshot from a hello world app or something. It's really hard to actually know what they mean when they use words I think I understand.
maybe the code example or hello world is on another page, but if cross platform rapid app development is the core value prop, they need to put it front and center based on their audience - app developers.
all the landing page gives me now are fancy framework words with no APIs and a picture of a pizza.
I forwarded this to the main contributors, thanks for the good feedback. Pepperoni is more of a starter kit to kickstart your React Native development as fast as possible. You get the redux architecture and other solid pieces but there's no internal framework API. I hope that explained the core idea.
That idea is explained well, but I agree with OP in that a working example would do wonders.
Is this a boilerplate repo that I should clone and build off of? Is this a project generator like rake? Is this a library I should npm install to depend on?
I agree with this. The page says it's a framework, but I feel like it's describing a kickstarter/generator. That said, I will bookmark Pepperoni and give it a go during the weekend, it looks interesting.
Thanks for the feedback! One of our team members is working on a sample app, launching as soon as it's done :)
We didn't want to delay the release until "everything" was complete, in order to gather input such as yours.
If you're interested on learning when the sample app is released, please subscribe to our mailing list and we'll let you know!
