After 9 years, I just finished my last week at Expo.
Started working on it when I was 19, and it's been the center of my life ever since.
Incredibly grateful to the team and community we built along the way!

Imagining a SwiftUI for Windows apps
Fun stuff, working on C# & Rust programming model for WinUI... very experimental, trying to do the development in the open. Would love feedback.

If we ever had Expo UI for React Native Windows, I wonder if it would be based on this. See how reminiscent of SwiftUI it is.
Breaking news: There's a new way to create #WinUI desktop apps without xaml using declarative, component-based C# framework! Check out the repo: github.com/microsoft/microso…

What if you had access to all native APIs in React Native?
Defining custom UIKit views anywhere you want, using cutting edge platform APIs, or adding custom effects to your views using Metal
We've published a preview of NativeScript compiled as a RN TurboModule using JSI. We'd love for you to try it out and show us what you've built
Using agents, the possibilities are endless. You can make native components on the fly and they hot-reload without recompiling your app
On NPM at @nativescript/react-native

🌲Rspack's tree shaking just got smarter 🦀
Two recent optimizations remove more unused code:
1. Inlined booleans can make branch-local dependencies inactive
2. Namespace default re-exports now preserve property-level usage
More precise bundles, less dead code
