With this in mind, where do we go to find out exactly where a user is in the application?

The answer to this question currently is that there is no one place to look. The navigational state is stored within the Navigator component, the HomeScreen component, and within the NewsFeed components. As our application gets larger, this opaque and disparate method of storing navigational state will become increasingly painful.

Our goal in this section is to use the components and utilities of the NavigationExperimental API to extract this navigational state from components and insert it into our Redux store. In doing so we'll need to remove Navigator and refactor HomeScreen...
