+## Platform-Specific File Extensions
+In most cases, the code written for this repo should be platform-independent. In such cases, each module should have a single file, `index.js`, which defines the module's exports. There are, however, some cases in which a feature is intrinsically tied to the underlying platform. In such cases, the following file extensions can be used to export platform-specific code from a module:
+- Mobile => `index.native.js`
+- iOS/Android => `index.ios.js`/`index.android.js`
+- Web => `index.website.js`
+- Desktop => `index.desktop.js`
+
+Note that `index.js` should be the default. i.e: If you have mobile-specific implementation in `index.native.js`, then the desktop/web implementation can be contained in a shared `index.js`. Furthermore, `index.native.js` should not be included in the same module as `index.ios.js` or `index.android.js`, nor should `index.js` be included in the same module as `index.website.js` or `index.desktop.js`.
