This is the tech stack of my React Native game Tiny Harvest 🌾 App: React Native + @expo.dev Backend: InstantDB Server: NodeJS on Railway Monitoring: Sentry IAP: RevenueCat Analytics: Posthog + The usual Claude Code / Cursor / Gemini / OpenAI for code & images 🔥

A simple dev trick I use everywhere in my game 👇

Think you’ve mastered @expo.dev Router? Here are 10 tips you NEED to know in 2026 - from layouts to deep linking, API routes, and more.

Trying to optimise my Appstore conversions with better screenshots. Instead of just showing the app, I now try to describe what you do visually. Not easy, wyt about the changes?

🚀 Expo SDK 55, AI Agent Skills, Router v7… Plus real revenue numbers from my Tiny Harvest app 🌱 👇

The struggle is real. Anyone tried Clawdbot? I fear I don't have that many things in my life to automate and improve at all 😅

Just read the @Expo.dev SDK 55 Beta changelog - wow 😮 Many big improvements. But also so many tiny additions like: - New Expo Modules for contacts/media-library/calendar - SQLite inspector powered by Drizzle - New Widgets and Share modules What's your favorite update?

Tiny Harvest Sunday Update ✌️ Been working the whole week on the first Season, new Coop features and some other elements I planned to add. With almost 100 ratings, daily IAP and a growing community, I'm super passionate about the project right now 🔥 Thanks for all your support 🙏

Love what Sentry is doing right now. Catch a crash in production, analyze the root cause and even draft a PR fix if I want to. The future is here.

Indie Game Earnings Report 💰 This is how much money my game Tiny Harvest currently makes, and how I generate the income. Got questions about in-app purchases? Hit me up! ✌️

I just tested In-App Purchases in 10 minutes. No sandbox. No waiting. Just RevenueCat MCP + their Test Store… and it actually worked 😳 Built the whole flow with AI helping along the way.

Working on my first ever Season Pass 👀 Hopefully ready in time for the February Season!

Biggest Tiny Harvest update so far 🔥 I touched every single view, tried to remove unnecessary taps and make life easier. Aligned themes, images...everything. If you tried the game before and bounced off the UI or pacing, this update should feel *very* different.

How to get 4.7 ⭐️ on the AppStore

bunx eas build -p ios --auto-submit Enjoy your day.

Coming soon: Swipe to harvest and plant 😍

I haven't seen a single IAP on Android for my game. I was close to focusing only on iOS tbh. Until today someone finally told me they don't work at all 🙈 After a quick investigation I found it: Looks like Android expects the specific purchase type (sub/iap) when calling purchase with RevenueCat.

Had to iterate on my game UI but think I found something that works ✌️ Also finally had a chance to play with Expo GlassEffect package 😍 Is the new UI clearer, wyt

Thinking of sharing more about the game + AI setup I used. Worth it?

Small experiments > big plans.

I accidentally built an AI Asset Generator 😅

The biggest RN performance wins usually come from removing things. Learned it the hard way with my game..

Building a game forced me to care about state, performance, and UX way more than most apps.

Working on new video: RevenueCat MCP and Teststore integration 🔥 I've basically built IAP and tested them in 5 minutes. Converting them to real products isn't really hard, and I can instantly test & build out my app. Love it.

While there's a ton of work for my game ahead, I already have the idea for another one. Definitely plan to ship a 2nd in 2026 💪 Anyone else?

Shared how I use AI to build my game, this is one reaction. Why wouldn't you use great tools to build & ship faster?! Maybe this is more about nostalgia, like how some people prefer unique, handmade stuff over factory produce.

Really love the RevenueCat MCP 😍 More on this soon..

I used to think games needed fancy graphics. Turns out constraints make them more fun.

The best use of AI for devs right now isn’t writing code - it’s asking better questions.

Big Milestone: Earned My First $100 with Tiny Harvest! 🎉

Made 1 change, and my whole game is suddenly snappier than ever 😱 Not sure if I should be mad about myself or happy that it's finally solved. Looks like it was the background cloud sync in the end, not a rendering issue like I thought the whole time 🤷‍♂️

Big update for Tiny Harvest 🎉 You can now have real buildings that generate coins, diamonds or rare items over time 🚀 There are also new decorations available, as well as the 100k golden statue to show you made it 🤩
