Expo gives you the most value-for-token by generating for all platforms simultaneously.
Vibe coding a mobile app. AND getting it ready for the App Store. Had a bit of a WOW moment here as hadn't tried this kind of thing for a few months. The combo of @replit's AI + @mattppal's insanely detailed publishing tutorial is just incredible. Truly the 3D printer for

This is an e2e test for modals in Expo Router. Spotlights a major arbitrage element of Expo where we test native react tree and bundling via expo web × playwright.

Revisiting modals in Expo Router.
Sneak peek 👀.My team and I @expo are cooking. Our mission: beautiful, iPad/iPhone-like modals/sheets with great defaults and lots of optional config for web. But @__ubax__ is cooking something for native too. With anchoring, history support and nesting! Soon!

API keys in the .env are never exposed to the client unless prefixed with EXPO_PUBLIC_. Use API routes and server functions to securely interact with environment variables in Expo.
Stop storing API keys or auth tokens directly in your @expo app. Even .env files or MMKV aren’t safe on a real device. Tools like adb, Frida, and apktool make it easy to extract data.

The simulation is written in react-three-fiber.
Neuroscience experts at FinalSpark developed a 3D simulation of a butterfly, controlled by human brain cells cultured in a lab. 👇Code related to FinalSpak's NeuroPlatform.

Computer maxxing with bg agents mitigates a lot of the slowness.
Fuuuck background agents are such a game changer. All my days messing about with plumbing.getting my CI times down.reviewing PR's.doing rapid context switching. have prepared me for this day. This is the form factor of my dreams.

Expo just keeps getting better. We’re simultaneously tackling the hardest problems in React Native right now. Expect to see major improvements in build times, styling/CSS, deployment, and UI.
📱Thanks to @expo Router, it’s easier than ever to build beautiful apps for iOS, Android, & web. With AI tools, building is easier than deploying — but it doesn’t have to be. Watch @baconbrix’s talk on how they're improving Expo Router:

Anyone tried React Strict DOM in a meaningful project yet? Thoughts?.
🚀 This is universal React with the new "react-strict-dom" by @Meta (experimental):. ◆ Light-weight, web-first API.◆ Truly native components on each platform.◆ No div-soup on web.◆ Fully accessible/indexable primitives.◆ Can be used with Tailwind CSS

Hermes engine has been such a slam dunk for instant launch times in React Native.
Tesla’s Robotaxi app is extremely fast. You can have a Robotaxi on the way in less than 30 seconds.

For absolute code sharing, there’s no beating “use dom” as it enables the most optimal div implementation available on the platform—the native WebView implementation. Browser vendors really don’t mess around with performance on core elements.

All I really want is a majority of CSS for View (media queries, css variables), web can keep its gesture system.
