Summary:
Several changes here. The `Text.md` and `PixelRatio.md` files were appended to the autodocs during site generation. This seemed excessive for just two files, so I've just merged the content into the autodocs themselves. It should help us simplify the website generation process in the future.
I've also merged IssueGuidelines.md and PullRequestGuidelines.md into the Contribution/Maintainers guidelines to improve their visibility.
Finally, I renamed Help to Community in the nav bar.
Ran the website locally, and verified every page rendered as expected: the Community page, Contributing page, Maintainers page.

Summary:
I added troubleshooting docs for connection to the development server from device, otherwise it's maybe hard to find out why it's not working.
Due to a disparity in what GitHub's API return the original PR (https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/14885) couldn't get imported, so I created a new PR as hramos suggested.

Summary:
Fixes#14566, as suggested by hramos. Only change from our convo is that I set the height to 180 in this pull request instead of 240. This to respect the aspect ratio of the source image.
- run website, visit in browser, verify that second example code section renders correctly
- copy and paste example code of second example into the App.js of a freshly created react native app
- prepend "export default" to line 4 of the pasted code
- run the app for ios or android (npm start ios)
- verify that the image of that terrible high-five actually renders in the app now

Summary:
Finally, a place where `Button` is properly introduced. This is based on the old Handling Touches guide, which has been simplified (with some content moved over to the scroll views tutorial).
I've also updated the ordering of the guides into something that makes more sense to someone just getting started with React Native.

Summary:
There are two ways to get started with React Native: using CRNA, or by building native code. The latter requires a set of dependencies that also need to be installed even by people who use CRNA if they have ejected.
There needs to be a clear demarcation between the two approaches as well as clear instructions as to which steps are of interest to CRNA using parties or people adding RN to an existing app.
Separating the two approaches entirely by using tabs can achieve this purpose.
Built and tested the website on Chrome on macOS. Have not yet tested other browsers or OS configurations.


This is a work in progress. Feedback is appreciated. I am not yet happy with the different sets of tabs/buttons, for example.

Summary:
My changes in https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/13707 assumed RN website works the same way as React website, but this assumption was wrong, so I added invalid markup.
This fixes it, and also moves the images into the website folder so we don't depend on random CDNs.

Summary:
React Native Playground has been sunset, so I've replaced the examples that previously used it with examples using [Snack](http://snack.expo.io/).
The examples are directly embedded and can be edited live to see updates. The code itself is also in the docs, so we can easily update the docs in one place and we don't have to actually go to a saved app on Snack and update it there.
Run it locally, go to the `Animations` section and the `Direct Manipulation` section.

Open it on your phone, notice that it falls back to just showing plain code.

Summary:
I am starting fresh on a new Mac and took another stab at the instructions.
- Java SDK 7 seems to work just fine.
- Adjusted Custom Android Studio installation instructions to use bare minimum required.
- Updated AVD configuration instructions with necessary changes to run AVD the first time.
- Added note on using real devices.
- Removed notes warning against use of API Level 23, these do not belong on a Getting Started guide.
- Added step to install Xcode Command Line Tools.
- Use `.profile` over `.bashrc` as the latter is shell-specific and is not loaded on login shells (e.g. new Terminal windows). `.profile` will work on bash, however, which is the default macOS shell.
- Added screenshots.
Went through steps for setting up RN for iOS as well as Android on a new Mac. Ended with apps running on the iOS Simulator and a AVD.
Generated website and verified instructions rendered correctly for each of the OS/device permutations.

Summary:
The showcase is displayed in the homepage as well as in a standalone showcase page. The source data for these two pages is embedded in each page, resulting in repetition of data across both.
This PR splits out all of the showcase data to its own file, which is then loaded into the Metadata component during website generation.
`cd website && npm start`, then verified index and showcase loaded successfully
`cd website && node server/generate.js`, confirmed script runs successfully

Summary:
We migrated everyone on Product Pains over to our new service, Canny. We also moved every product's feedback to a product-specific subdomain (eg. https://react-native.canny.io/feature-requests).
This PR updates every Product Pains URL over to its new Canny version.
Changes only affect docs, blog posts, and bot responses - not the React Native library itself.
**Test plan**
I visited https://react-native.canny.io/feature-requests. Since there are no code changes this seems sufficient but let me know if I need to run the blog website or something.

Summary:
After taking a look at the existing animation docs, I found that most of the documentation on using `Animated` was spread out throughout the Animations guide and the `Animated` API reference, without any particular structure in place.
This PR aims to clean up the API reference, focusing on documenting all the provided methods exhaustively, and deferring to the Animations guide for long form examples and supporting content.
The `Easing` module is referred to at various points in the API reference, so I decided to clean up this doc as well. easings.net provides some handy visualizations that should make it easier for the reader to understand what sort of easing curve each method provides.
The site was built locally, and I verified all three documents render correctly.
