Just a note, some concepts barrow heavily from other frameworks like react-native-navigation and react-native-router-flux. Two great solutions that I encourage you to take a look at.

At the core this is a framework that allows you to define navigation scenes. But, I did not want scenes to be limited on their ability to navigate to other scenes. Every scene can be a root scene, a pushed scene, or a modal scene. I also wanted a way to customize the scene from almost anywhere in the app. Every scene can have properties declared at the router level, at the scene level, or the navigation level. I wanted the ability to leverage redux to manage my navigation state, but that seemed way too opinionated for me. I didn't want to be tied to redux just to have some navigation in my app. My solution was to incorporate separate state management for the navigation so that the navigation state can be tied into redux through the use of an action event emitter. I felt like this was the best of both worlds. So to summarize here are the feature bullet points:
