It's absolutely incredible how good @expo.dev is these days I set up a new Expo Router shell and built about 80% of an entire super slick app in 1 day yesterday 😮 It works flawlessly on Web, iOS, and Android 👏 Before, this would've taken so much longer, or be far less capable in the same time 💅

Day 10: Expo Config Plugins In my opinion, possibly the single greatest thing in the #ReactNative ecosystem, even better than New Architecture. Config plugins fix SO much pain, and go hand-in-hand with the prebuild process, together enabling what's called Continuous Native Generation (or CNG)

the amount of pure value expo has created must be astronomical. i don’t think react native would be viable for smaller companies without it. and it’s free. wild

When people compare React Native with Flutter, they often say that Flutter is better for graphics-based apps. However, the #1 graphics app in the  App Store is built with React Native. Anything's possible with a truly native framework!

@pfrazee.com @danabra.mov We're working a lot on Expo web and trying to make Expo one of the best ways to make a website -- on par w Remix and Next, etc. If there's anything you think is missing or wish were diff, let us know. @bacon.bsky.social is leading this effort.

With Expo, even a quick hack can get you a performant app that runs natively on 99% of mobile devices, and web—at scale…

It'd be fun to do a case study of this Expo app sometime.
