People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.
RULES:
- Mark NSFW content.
- No doxxing people.
- Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
- No international politcs
- Be excellent to each other.
- Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
- If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement

Small nitpicks: The point of react is that it DOESN'T refresh. It maintains a virtual DOM which is faster to update and diff than the regular browser DOM, which you hinted at. No libraries necessary to do routing, but they do make it easier and better.
This however is a React Native application which doesn't have the same (browser) backend or requirements. It's native code. There is no refresh or routing per se.
That all said, the start menu is an abomination of the highest order. It just isn't really React's fault. People just love to hate on React and . React also gets a bad rap because it's so ubiquitous and easy to start using that novices and morons alike can make atrociously slow, bloated web apps with it.
