@expo.dev Can't get away from work for just a couple of days, smh. Just kidding, excited to get back to the Expo / @tailwindcss.com app we're working on.

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 💅

Built a quick Expo website to search through expo/vector-icons 🚀 ◆ Framework — Expo Router ◆ Hosting — eas deploy 💕 ◆ UI — shadcn ◆ Virtual list — tanstack/react-virtual Try it here icons.expo.app

Just built my first  App Clip in Expo Router! ◆ Instantly launch on iOS w/o downloading ◆ Deep link to every screen automatically ◆ Convert users in-app w/o ever going to the App Store A new era for mobile web—notifications, Live Activities, haptics, etc Try now appclip.apple.com/id?p=com.eva...

Just moved my game pillarvalley.expo.app over to EAS Hosting 🚀 Re-deploying on iOS with the new universal links.

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)

Day 9: Expo and #ReactNative As someone who’s gone from actively avoiding @expo.dev to never shutting up about it, I’m trying hard not to make this sound like a love letter. Coming back to appdev after years of @nextjs.org, I felt right at home.

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

🚀 Migrated my React website evanbacon.dev to a native app with Expo DOM components, on a stream. You can try it today on iOS! testflight.apple.com/join/Mnx4HDsf And watch the stream here www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLlu...

I was talking about “use dom”. It’s really good. docs.expo.dev/guides/dom-c...

Expo 52 will make it clear how web developers can incrementally build high-powered native apps with their existing React skills

you meet @bacon.bsky.social one time and all of a sudden all your buttons become squishy and native-feeling

🚀 Ever wonder how many apps use Expo × React Native? Over the last year I've collected a list of over +𝟭,𝟱𝟬𝟬 top iOS apps (including Bluesky) using Expo OSS in the  App Store! 🔗 Today I'm sharing the list! evanbacon.dev/blog/expo-2024

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.

alright folks, the app code is now public https://github.com/bluesky-social/social-app

Writing this from a branch of the Bluesky app that uses Expo Router

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

Jay 🦋@jay.bsky.team · 3y ago

this entire app was meant to be a quick hack while we finish the protocol, lol. oops

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

Universal apps don't have to be slow! Expo apps are highly performant ↓

Rachel Leggett@rleggos.bsky.social · 3y ago

my phone is approaching two years old now and I honestly don't think I have any other apps on it that feel as snappy and responsive as this one does

@lydiahallie.bsky.social @ccheever.bsky.social and I are at Coachella today! Come find us and talk about universal development!

Use Expo, like Bluesky!
