Hey #ReactNative community 👋 I've faced the following question a number of times: WebView wrapper of existing website (with native navigation shell) vs. full React Native adoption. Given tight budgets and sometimes limited resources, it’s not always easy. I’m curious to hear your thoughts 🧵👇

Was great to grab a burger and beer with @woldri.ch & @baumstumpf.bsky.social before the React(Native) Kiel meetup yesterday 🍔🍺

We made it to Krakow. 12 hour journey ✅ AppJS conf can start now 🤓🚀

Had some fun today deep-diving into Expo config plugins 🔌 Ran into an issue this week with an outdated plugin, so I used my day off today to fix it and learn more about how it all works. A few takeaways from the adventure below. 🧵👇

🤯 Did you know that you can instantly add  home screen widgets to your React app with @bacon.bsky.social's new `npx create-target` command!? Join the livestream on January 28th to watch Evan 🥓 show you how to build widgets with Expo. youtube.com/live/hgmAMrV...

☁️ EAS Hosting is here! In addition to deploying mobile apps to stores, you can now push: - Websites - API Routes - Environment variables We are adding native support via @expo.dev React Server Components soon 🚀 Run `eas deploy` today!

The @expo.dev examples repo is a great resource for bootstrapping your next big app idea. The templates can be pulled via the create-expo-app command. I’m trying out the with-tv example which supports tvOS & Android TV platforms 📺🚀 github.com/expo/examples

Hot off the press: RN 0.76 has landed! 🛬🥳 I’m personally looking forward to trying out the new boxShadow & filter style props 🎨 reactnative.dev/blog/2024/10... #reactnative #release
