Thanks Tomasz for pushing the boundaries of native modules and advancing react-native-macos support in Expo! Best of luck on your next step.

Thank you Jamie! Your recent work on react-native-macos stuff is inspiring! 😍 One of the first things I'm going to do as a community contributor is to finally add a CI workflow that builds the test app on macOS 😂

Wishing you all the best, Tomasz! 🙌 Thanks for all your feedback on my Expo PRs – I’ve learned so much from it. And a big thank you for your incredible work on the Expo Modules API – it’s been a huge inspiration! 🚀

For the next few months I would like to focus more on myself and recharge batteries 🪫 I'll be doing open source contributions to @expo.dev occasionally, as a hobby and simply because I got addicted 🤣 but I won't be part of the core team anymore.

Making Expo Modules better and better, improving support for SwiftUI and macOS are still my missions that bring me joy 🫡 It's just going to slow down a bit, depending on my time and resources 💸 If you appreciate my work and want to help me with the latter, my GitHub Sponsors profile is open.

I'm glad to be the top 2 contributor in expo/expo repo at the end of this chapter. The fight for the first place was unequal though. @notbrent.dev pushes a lot of commits directly to the main branch and mostly just in the docs 🤣

That's sad news! Glad to hear you'll stick around and occacionally contribute with your expertise though! 🙏 A recharge sounds great, and I hope you find your next adventure as exciting when you are ready! Thanks for all, man! (not least your guidance in my first Swift-related PR 😉)

I don't rule out the possibility of returning full-time at some point 😉 For now I want to try to enjoy my unemployment 😂 If you ever need more guidance, just ping me - I'm always happy to help!
