Overview
We currently have a few open and merged PRs which are removing the documentation pages for components removed in the Lean Core effort.
I see a few issues with this:
- Confusion: Users that have been checking the React Native site for these docs will suddenly not be able to find them
- Discovery: Users that are on an old version of React Native will not know to check the docs of the version they're on that has the component
- Loss of SEO: these pages are the top result when searching for these components
Proposal
To fix, I propose that we
- Remove these docs from the sidebars
- Replace the docs with shell pages that explain where the component how lives and a link to docs of the last React Native version that includes the component
ImageEditor has been moved to https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-image-editor
For the last React Native version, see: https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/0.58/imageeditor
This way, they won't clutter the sidebar and users looking for this component organically or from Google will be able to still discover it and be routed to the correct home.
