The new 𝝠 Expo home page is live: expo.dev We were overdue for a new home that tells the story of what Expo has become: Everything you need to build apps. We added more pages to explain how Expo serves different stages of business growth across different industries. We'll 🧵 some of those below ↓

Using @expo.dev with real-time synced SQLite means that instead of having to: • manage network requests • handle loading states • implement retry logic • orchestrate state management between your local cache and remote data You just write queries™

🔴 The SDK 54 Livestream begins in ~2.5hrs. We have some demos prepared and will of course take questions from the audience. You can find it on youtube: youtube.com/live/KBlbkjq...

Whether it's a greenfield project or an incremental migration - we're seeing an overwhelming number of Enterprise applications adopting Expo this year. It's not an accident. It's the direct byproduct of 10 years of building this platform and listening to our community. expo.dev/solutions/en...

😍 Love seeing @kadi.bsky.social on stage at @reactuniverseconf.com with other talented devs. 🥂Today is actually Kadi's 2 year 𝝠 Expo anniversary and her talent is a massive reason for the exponential growth of 𝝠 Expo over that period of time. Thank you for everything that you do Kadi!

😍 Beautiful, honest, helpful blog post here from @cassidoo.co about what it's like for a web dev to ship their first mobile app with Expo. If you're a web dev thinking about mobile apps then give this a read.

The “network tarpit” kills a lot of mobile apps: retries, spinners, offline logic...you know the feeling. With @powersync.com & Expo you can skip the tarpit entirely. Local SQLite, background sync, offline-first. Check out the tutorial w/ @supabase.com backend: expo.dev/blog/what-sy...

@expo.dev SDK 54 now targets Android 16, which means edge-to-edge will be enabled in all Android apps, and cannot be disabled. Additionally, react-native-edge-to-edge is no longer a dependency of the expo package because the required functionality was built into React Native thanks to @zoontek.me 👏

Developers told us they were juggling GitHub Actions + Expo + other CI/CD just to ship apps. Now you only need one tool: EAS Workflows. ⚡ 6 lines of config → full pipelines ⚡ CI/CD that speeds up over time ⚡ Built for Expo + React Native Read the blog from @jonsamp.dev → expo.dev/blog/expo-wo...
