At @Expo, we want to build the best framework and infrastructure for app creators. My co-founder, @ccheever, has long had a guiding vision for creators to go from an idea to an app in people's hands as fast as possible. I think about this as democratizing software:

Interesting data point on iOS IAPs vs. web-based payments. Think a few things are going on:. â—† iOS IAPs share credit cards across all apps; iOS does not extend this to Stripe, PayPal yet.â—† Familiar Apple Pay UI.â—† UI friction from task switching to the Safari app. Perhaps.

We have initial data from our large scale test of web purchases. We're seeing a 25% to 45% drop in conversion rate when comparing a fully IAP experience to a fully web based flow with equivalent prices and products.

@TimSweeneyEpic, @ycombinator, and others are advocating for neutral platforms: any lawful app, any developer, any store, any user. ⬥ As a developer, you choose what apps you want to offer. ⬥ As a consumer, you choose what apps are allowed to be on device you paid for. This.

YC & @garrytan are right about chilling effects. The heart of self-preferencing in mobile is OS makers control who can make apps, what apps can do, and who can use those apps, even with “alternative” app stores. Brand image & control are put ahead of developer & consumer choice.

Self-preferencing in big tech platforms is a chilling effect on startups. The incentive for USG to bring about truly free markets & consumer choice is clear and obvious: Instead of 7 big tech companies we should have dozens or over 100. We should demand platform neutrality.

Smart feature by @WookieFPV to use your own computer as your Expo build cache provider. No internet connection, no hosting needed to skip native builds when possible. Get best of both worlds w/composition:.L1: your computer, works offline.L2: EAS remote cache, shared w/team.

Say hello to faster Expo builds! đź‘‹ Just released `expo-build-disk-cache`, a simple plugin that caches app artifacts to disk. No server needed, and you can share the cache using your own cloud sync!

We’re looking to add sharp engineers who have experience working on bundler internals. This is a “high RAM” role where you often need to be able to fit a lot in your head.

Why fingerprints matter:.1. Confirm update compatibility: new JS works with an existing build when your app's fingerprint is the same. 2. Skip unnecessary builds by checking if an existing build matches your app’s fingerprint.
