Feeling like Expo Router on web doesn't get enough attention. Sure, some nav stuff (tabs) might not look great out of the box, but this is your #reactnative app rendered on web! Plus simple `Platform.OS === 'web'` checks, or `screen.web.tsx` variants is super powerful. Write once, run everywhere.

How are folks handling modals between web (especially desktop) and mobile with Expo Router on #ReactNative. Looking at Bluesky app they seem to roll their own modal implementation. I’m really happy with mobile experience with Expo Router, but desktop needs a lot of customization.
