Solving a Tooling Problem For React Native
summary
Demonstrates a concrete fixer: rnpm automates linking of native React Native modules so fonts, cameras and other assets stop causing a red screen after npm install. It runs npm under the hood, adds Xcode/Gradle entries, supports no config, is codebase-agnostic, and offers plugins, parameters and unlink to undo changes. A live demo shows Vector Icons and CodePush installed and linked in seconds instead of ~30 minutes. Roadmap promises native dependency management and merging rnpm into react-native-cli.
