Description

Proposal: Port photo-lab from UWP to RNW

Summary

https://github.com/microsoft/Windows-appsample-photo-lab

asdf

Photo-lab is a mini-app for viewing and editing image files. The UWP version demonstrates XAML layout, data binding, and UI customization features.

Updating this to RNW would provide a sample that helps provide a comparison between various techs.

Motivation

Porting this sample to React Native has several benefits:

  • Gives execs some hard data to compare technologies
  • This is a complete app that could potentially get shipped to the store as a standalone
  • More samples = win

Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked Windows-appsample-photo-lab UWP project and the existing samples in this repository. Identify the RNW approach for reproducing its image viewing, editing, XAML layout, data binding, and UI customization demonstrations. Done means a comparable photo-lab sample is implemented for RNW as a complete app.
