+[React Native](https://reactnative.dev) is a framework developed by Facebook that enables you to build world-class application experiences on native platforms using a consistent developer experience based on JavaScript and [React](https://reactjs.org/). The focus of React Native is on developer efficiency across all the platforms you care about - learn once, write anywhere.
This repository adds support for the [Windows 10 SDK](https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads), which allows you to build apps for [all devices supported by Windows 10](https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/get-started-windows-10) including PCs, tablets, 2-in-1s, Xbox, Mixed reality devices etc.
## Status and roadmap
-
-We are in the process of re-implementing react-native-windows in C++, for better performance, and to better align with the shared C++ react-native core as it evolves. Please see the [Roadmap 2019](https://microsoft.github.io/react-native-windows/blog/2019/07/22/roadmap) blog for details on this effort and investment roadmap for the upcoming months.
-
-Please see the [July 2019 Updates Blog](https://microsoft.github.io/react-native-windows/blog/2019/07/21/updates) for all the latest updates!

+[React Native for Windows](https://microsoft.github.io/react-native-windows/) has it's own separate documentation site where Windows and Mac specific information, like API docs and blog updates live.
-For information on parity status with Android and iOS, including details on implemented and missing components and modules, along with related issues for missing features from partial implementations, go [here](https://microsoft.github.io/react-native-windows/docs/parity-status).
+## Get Started
+See the [Getting Started Guide](https://microsoft.github.io/react-native-windows/docs/getting-started) on our React Native for Windows website.
-## Extending React Native
+## Need Help?
-- Looking for a component? [JS.coach](https://js.coach/react-native)
-- Fellow developers write and publish React Native modules to npm and open source them on GitHub.
-- Third party modules may be missing Windows support, so reach out to the project owners directly.
-- Making modules helps grow the React Native ecosystem and community. We recommend writing modules for your use cases and sharing them on npm.
-- You should almost never need to modify or fork React Native Windows itself (the ReactNative and ReactNative.Shared project/sources) to create custom controls. The extension points should already exist to do just about anything!
-- Read the guides on [Native Modules for Windows](https://microsoft.github.io/react-native-windows/docs/native-modules).
