React.js Conf 2016 - Ben Alpert - What Lies Ahead

I tried submitting a reddit thread ( [link] ), 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 ( [link] ) mentioned the importance of mobile web apps and 60 FPS. Ben Alpert's talk mentioned ( [this video] ) "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 ( [link] ) Whatever happened to Flipboard's React Canvas ( [link] and [link] ) 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?

There's a touch more than views to consider, e.g. do you have to build or want a native mobile app? Angular 2.0 will be under heavy development whereas I think React has matured to the point where a lot of effort is going into ease of use and performance [1]. I also found the React tool chain (using webpack/babel5) very slightly more sane than grunt/gulp once my project grew beyond "Hello TODO". But the JS tooling is absolutely crazy no matter what platform is decided. I'm using redux for API calls - I like the "single store" approach despite drawbacks vs. flux (or multiple stores).
