Do you think it's possible to get this working in the browser?

See original GitHub issue

I’m curious if you think it’s possible to get this working with react-native-web as well as a mobile device.

Would all I need to do is include react-native-web as a module in the wormhole and modify the babel output to support RNW?

Don’t get your hopes up. 😛

The thinking here was that Webpack should make the appropriate decision for us, so even though we’re saying require('react-native'), it should still just import react-native-web because that will have been rewritten.

Hello! I think this should work fine in a browser. I don’t think there’s anything specific to the native runtime that we’re doing with this module.

Yes that’s right. react-native-web uses Webpack aliases to remap references from react-native to react-native-web, but since this happens at build time it means you’d probably have to emulate a similar behaviour at runtime when a Wormhole tries to resolve a dependency. So yeah, sounds like you hit the nail on the head.

You should be able to experiment with this directly using the Example App.
