Render in DOMless Scope

Hi there,

I really like your presentation on returning null. I am making an electron app and want to take advantage of the lifecycle methods. In the main scope, there is no dom, in here I have my app state container, I return null in the whole tree, including the root. However I can't initially render it because for initial render I am required to use ReactDOM.render like this:

ReactDOM.render(, document.getElementById('something'))

I have no DOM, is there anyway to render it?

If I try `null` as root I get error:

> Error: _registerComponent(...): Target container is not a DOM element.
