Lots of people keep asking why they get a red screen telling them to connect to a dev server when using their device. Most have followed the "Getting Started" guide, but didn't notice the "Running on Device" section since it is kinda buried in the sidebar and isn't linked to from anywhere.
The io.js codebase has been rebranded as "Node.js", so moving forward everyone should install the latest version of Node. The name "io.js" is no longer.
This is an early release and there are several things that are known
not to work if you're porting your iOS app to Android.
See the Known Issues guide on the website.
We will work with the community to reach platform parity with iOS.
The instructions as given did not work. The reason they did not work was that, while my .bashrc was made aware of nvm, my running bash process did not know about nvm until I ran ". ~/bashrc", after which things worked as expected.
nvm is way better than homebrew for managing node installations:
- can install multiple versions
- can choose which version of node to install
- easy to clean up under ~/.nvm
- there are still some rough edges with /usr/local on El Cap -- nvm avoids those altogether
Clarify that io.js is the modern version of Node and explain a little more about how to get set up with nvm, and that it lets you switch between multiple io.js/node versions.
This is in preparation for open sourcing React Native for Android.
Also add hyphens to URLs for consistency. This can break people's
browser bookmarks but it's better to be consistent and we can
redirect to docs: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/2137
Test plan: Ran the website locally using `cd website; npm start`
and checked all pages render correctly.

Will update "Getting Started", "Tutorial", "Debugging" and
"Testing" separately.
It looks like in the various changes to native module events, the documentation has become a little confused. As far as I can tell, if you use `sendAppEventWithName` then the `NativeAppEventEmitter` is used and if `sendDeviceEventWithName` then it should be `DeviceEventEmitter`.
It's pretty straightforward -- io.js is available through Homebrew so all you run is `brew install iojs` and then you can still run `node` from the command line. Also mentioned nvm since it's really good for switching between Node/io.js versions.
