[Dean McPherson](https://twitter.com/dean_mcpherson) makes clear that his Component for dragging and dropping rows inside React Native's ListView is still in development but the concept is cool and it might come in handy in your future Apps. Make sure to check it out and follow his progress.

Drag drop capable wrapper of ListView for React Native


If you've been following the React Native ecosystem, or if you investigated for React Native Desktop solutions, you already stumbled into this exceptional fork.  
`React Native Desktop` (for OS X) is already incredibly successfull, mostly because [potomushto](https://twitter.com/potomushto) is doing a constant and impressive work of keeping its project aligned to the mainstream version.

While we waited to cover this onto our community website, he has already published three major versions.  
So we're posting this today, one year from the news that introduced React Native [to the world](https://twitter.com/reactjs/status/560503664112963584) (yet to be opensourced later) as an emblem of the long way that React Native has already gone so far.

## [react-native-desktop](https://github.com/ptmt/react-native-desktop) on GitHub

> Since it's simply a fork of React Native, basically you just can follow [the same steps](http://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/getting-started.html#content). Feel free to ask anything on `#react-native-desktop` channel if you run into problems (and you probably will).

React Native v0.19.0 released


When working with heavily Maps based interfaces you might feel a little constrained by the base [MapView](http://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/mapview.html) Component that comes out of the React Native box.  
At this point you might either start working on a full pack of new features, maybe over a declarative API, or just head to [Leland Richardson](https://twitter.com/intelligibabble)'s shiny Mapview component.

No pressure, take your time!

## [react-native-maps](https://github.com/lelandrichardson/react-native-maps) on GitHub

> This MapView component is built so that features on the map (such as Markers, Polygons, etc.) are specified as children of the MapView itself. This provides an intuitive and react-like API for declaratively controlling features on the map.
