iOS and Android tags are used, but not explained
Description
The documentation makes liberal use of tags labelled 'iOS' and 'Android', without explaining the consequence of having a tag on some functionality.
What is the problem?
As a beginner I'd like to read the documentation and understand what to do, what to expect. Currently, I just realize that a feature is related to iOS or Android, but I don't know enough to gain any insights.
How can we address it?
Add a hover text or link that explains the meaning of the tag. Add a legend to the documentation that explains the meaning of tags (and other symbols) used.
Why is it important?
The tag seems to convey important information, but as a beginner I don't understand what kind of information that might be.
Who needs this?
New learners.
When should this happen (use version numbers if needed)?
Examples:
- https://reactnative.dev/docs/activityindicator#hideswhenstopped-ios
- https://reactnative.dev/docs/statusbar#currentheight-android
I guess this is the documentation I'm supposed to find? Adding the tag symbols here might be a good first step.
https://reactnative.dev/docs/platform-specific-code
Certain components may have properties that work on one platform only. All of these props are annotated with
@platformand have a small badge next to them on the website.
Add a hover text or link that explains the meaning of the tag
This sounds like a good addition. Do you want to try to send a PR?
