Great project: exactly what I needed for developing a react-native platform! There are a few outdated statistics and links in the README, so an update would be great. I can submit a PR you're fine with that.
Let's face it, sometimes symbolic links just aren't enough. Github has more than 10K issues with the words "support for symlinks" in them.
The latest statistics show that there are more than 20K such issues, out of which ~16K are open and only 4K+ are closed. An update? 😉
Two examples I've encountered so far were: React Native's packager lack of support for them and Webpack's inability to find linked modules dependencies (working around this has issues of its own).
React Native's issue has been moved to metro. The original issue in webpack seems to have been fixed, but there are multiple other issues in webpack relating to peerDependencies, symlink option of webpack and --preserve-symlinks option of Node.js, and lots more.
webpack/webpack#1866, webpack/webpack#985, webpack/webpack#1643, etc.
Thanks, Madhav.
