Kevin Lacker 072ef0a0d4 More Resources doc, updating Support doc and quickstart too
Summary:
TLDR even more docs changes

So I created a More Resources doc that aggregates the high-quality-but-off-site stuff. Let's try to put more outlinks there. Also I removed the stuff on Support that was not support, and some misc changes to clean stuff up.
Closes https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/8329

Direct text-based user input is a foundation for many apps. Writing a post or comment on a page is a canonical example of this. [`TextInput`](/react-native/docs/textinput.html#content) is a basic component that allows the user to enter text.
This example creates a simple `TextInput` box with the `string` `Type something here` as the placeholder when the `TextInput` is empty.
```JavaScript
import React from 'react';
import { AppRegistry, Text, TextInput, View } from 'react-native';
const AwesomeProject = () => {
return (
<View style={{paddingTop: 22}}>
<TextInput
style={{
height: 40,
margin: 5,
paddingLeft: 10,
borderColor: 'black',
borderWidth: 1
}}
placeholder="Type something here"
/>
</View>
);
}
// App registration and rendering
AppRegistry.registerComponent('AwesomeProject', () => AwesomeProject);
```
