Released a massive update of my coffee timer app, Single Origin. I wanted to brew the roaster-created recipes available on the Fellow Aiden & xBloom, so I built an app that guides you through every pour, agitation, etc. Since it's built with Expo, it runs on iOS, WatchOS, Android, & Web. 👇

The iOS queue times for Free plan users on @expo.dev were around 4 hours at this time last week. We increased our Mac capacity today. We're seeing <10 min queue times right now. ⚡ Subscribers are seeing 0 min queue times.

This is some real power. I just merged to `main` and my changes deployed to Android, iOS, and the web in ~4min total.

I started working at Expo after seeing a Tweet. Maybe you could too?!

Congrats to us for winning best supporting actor/actress in the Bytes.dev OSScars

Just launched the first version of the React Native Directory VS Code extension! 🎉 Now you can effortlessly discover & integrate React Native libraries into your project, without leaving VS Code. Give it a try and let me know what you think! 👇 🔗 marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemNa...

Free accounts get 30 builds (up to 15 iOS), free submissions, 100K hosting requests, and ~60 over the air update publishes per month on @expo.dev. And now you can automate it all so that a push to main = delivered code.

If you want to make a real mobile app, but you don’t program or know React/Expo, you can. 🔥🔥🔥 Check out @ariellecpx.bsky.social’s video: youtu.be/Q132XvlS2qg?...

Sometimes people ask me for my opinions about React Native tech and it's basically just this.

whoa @expo.dev just hit 1MM weekly npm downloads 🌟

We released a product called workflows, a React Native CI/CD, late last year. Heard a *ton* of feedback and there are a lot of new features. Let's dive in: 🗺️ We now display a topologically sorted map of your workflow, so you can see what's in progress, finished, failed, etc.

☺️ Want to run unit tests→build→E2E tests→submit in one place? Try EAS Workflows. expo.dev/eas/workflows

Trying to make 3D stuff in Figma. Everything's just shapes after all 🤷‍♂️

What about SwiftUI inspo?

An Arc-inspired @expo.dev welcome screen design idea 🌟

New today: we can now host your API routes and websites, right on EAS. Write your app and let’s take it places… like the app stores and the worldwide web 💫 expo.dev/blog/expo-an...

the best part of OTP codes is when they have 2 seconds left and you're smashing that return key

It snowed ❄️

Yo @jim.bsky.social, thanks for the excellent components + design of SRCL. Just gave my personal site a much needed refresh.

Since we stayed home for the holidays, I was able to get a lot of "someday list" stuff done. First up, built these shelves for my workshop. Now I have a joinery-station. Pocket hole jig, screws, bolts, glue, drills, clamps, etc.

Has this been the best year for React Native and Expo ever? It's definitely up there! So much to recap. If you're a bit behind on the latest, this blog will get you up to speed 🏎️

Wow! State of JS '24, people are getting more interested in @expo.dev 💃

Just turned off Apple Intelligence on all my devices and realized I was better off before. Some realizations: Apple is terrified of results that are unsavory, which means AI generated content is nearly useless. Here I tried to use the Image Playground to create images of me, angry or sad. Baha wat?

Just in time for the holidays: I updated my Scrabble word checker app. 📚 New official dictionaries (all local) 💅 Updated UI and animations 👨‍💻 SDK 52, expo-sqlite, splash screen, workflows, and more! It's free! It's open source! I hope you don't lose your turn.

Come have a coffee with us! ☕️

LiveStore is the data layer I wish I had when working on mobile apps: Reactive, fast and fun to use! After many months of close collaboration with the folks at @expo.dev, I'm very excited to take a big step towards launching @livestore.dev.

Is this the biggest year for React Native… ever? - Bluesky soars - Partiful tops the Play Store - The New Architecture is here - Expo is dropping a bunch of features Feel like everyone here is really starting to run 🏃‍♂️

Maestro tests passing on EAS 👀

My partner texted me about an exercise ball. Apple’s AI summary almost made me spew my coffee:

SwiftUI 🤝 Expo

When we were working on Workflows, @t3.gg asked: okay what specific problems does this solve? Concrete examples please. So, let's dive in:

Workflows are like a specialized tool for developers building Expo apps. They add the glue between all the steps you need to deliver your code to your users.

The line between website code and native app code is getting thinner every day!

It was great being on the show. The people at IR are 💯. Talked about the next wave of products that are coming from Expo. In fact, we’re announcing them more fully on Wed, so this is a sneak peek. Have a listen 🎧

🥳 It's time to party! We have announcements, blog posts, videos, and livestreams scheduled throughout the week. ⚡ And we're getting things started today with an SDK 52 Highlight video: youtu.be/quZv3uKSEfY?...

. @expo.dev launch party starts in under 20 hours 🎉 expo.dev/launch-party

We originally planned on having a launch week this week, and uh, glad we didn’t. It’s in a couple weeks, have some fun app devvy things to share soon!

I could use X but: - It's lost a lot of its magic/content/people - Features are 📉 - Leadership there is ... Or I could use bsky: - Made with @expo.dev tools - People who make it are genuinely awesome - Community is magic 🌟 So, hello again my bsky friends!

How did I _just_ learn you can @ Expo docs in Cursor. We thought about adding AI to docs.expo, but its way better to be closer to the code.

What the fox? I learned that there are foxes throughout the RN docs because there used to be a family of foxes that lived by a Facebook building. Employees called them the Facebook Foxes 🦊 I hope they continue including fox bbs here and there <3

We worked closely with the team at Meta to make it easier to get started with React Native. Just shipped: ✨ New reactnative.dev home page 📚 New React Native "get started" docs 🤳 New Expo dev environment setup docs This must be "new"s

In case you were wondering, yes you can use React Compiler on Expo apps

Bsky on the big screen at App.js conf!

@afomera.bsky.social omg welcome to bsky!!!

How long until we start hosting source code on the AT protocol. Is version control possible?

Pleats

This type design is fantastic

Pro tip: bring specialty instant coffee in your carry on, ask for hot water, and enjoy your day ☕️

This app went from butts to Alf far too quickly and I have no idea what’s next 😨

Wait what the /honk?
