Charlie Cheever

RIP Donnie Iris 😔

In one day, two politicians - Bolsonaro in Brazil and Vucic in Serbia - with ties to Trump have lost surprise elections thanks to high turnout. The rise of the international far-right is not inevitable.

There was a fucking hole in our planet’s *atmosphere* Like a legit, no joke, “this will unravel our entire ecosystem” hole in the world, and then we fixed it by working together across national and political lines As a species we decided, “we will survive” Let’s do that some more

I've been building a chess puzzles app using @expo.dev, and it’s finally coming together 👀 Made a fun little page for the launch. → tempo.reactiive.io

James Talarico @jamestalarico.bsky.social is simply 1 of the greatest, most inspirational candidates to emerge in years, running against Ken Paxton, one of the most disgracefully corrupt politicians of all-time. So the Texas GOP responds by doing what comes naturally to them, of course: CHEATING! 🤮

@expo.dev just turned 11 years old today went back and watched @ccheever.com announce it on that day and wow its crazy how our mission has remained the same despite all the changes software development has gone through for our bday, we're gifting the world smthn we've wanted for 11 years: Observe

The president is refusing to spend taxpayer money assisting Americans suffering from natural disasters solely because their states didn't vote for him. I know there are a thousand scandals at the moment, but this one deserves some more oxygen at every level.

exciting news: we'll be rolling out the New Architecture version of the app over the course of the next 7 days, starting with Android. look forward to your app being smoother and more performant 🏎️💨

I made a Chrome Extension that advises you if you play 82-0 . It works pretty well. chromewebstore.google.com/detail/82-0-...

We weren't planning for Healthcare to become a top Expo vertical. But here we are. 7,200+ health apps shipping on Expo & a big chunk of new signups now come from clinical teams. We're proud of this trend and we built a new page to help health eng teams evaluate Expo: try.expo.dev/healthcare-b...

I’m pro-freedom, pro-law and order, pro-limited government, and pro-the Declaration and the Constitution. And so today I’m a Democrat.

You need speed. Slow builds kill momentum. We're addressing this from every angle: ◆ Dozens of new M4 Pro/Max Mac Minis added ◆ Compiler caching, Gradle caching, prebuilt binaries ◆ Prebuilt XCFrameworks ◆ Fingerprint workflows so you only build when native code changes expo.dev/blog/build-f...

We really care about speed at @expo.dev

We’ve been cooking with this lineup… and we’re just getting started 👀 Speaking at Chain React 2026 (so far) ➡️ @ccheever.com ➡️ @kacperkapusciak.bsky.social ➡️ @gantlaborde.com ➡️ @mazenchami.dev More names dropping soon. Tickets on sale now 👇 ti.to/chainreact/c...

Join me and hundreds of React Native developers at the 2026 Chain React conference in Portland, Oregon! chainreactconf.com

Working remote is great day-to-day, but over time you really do miss your coworkers and colleagues in the industry. Especially the React Native community. I hope y’all take advantage of the opportunity to come hang with us! Get your tix now: chainreactconf.com

🎤 Announcing: Charlie Cheever If you're in tech, you know @ccheever.com Charlie's the co-founder of @expo.dev and one of the biggest driving forces behind React Native!! Charlie's joining us live in Portland for Chain React. 🎟️ ti.to/chainreact/c...

Back when Bluesky first launched, there was a ton of momentum about leaving Twitter. But it was hard to migrate, hard to crosspost. Too many people didn't make the jump. Software needs a critical mass like social media, and now the wind is in @tangled.org's sails. I hope they get it right.

Seth is different. He can zoom out & see all the layers of a problem. He knows what to say. And what to build. And how to build it. What's possibly most impressive is that he delivers all this perspective with warmth and joy. It's infectious. We're lucky to have him! expo.dev/blog/seth-we...

🥳 We raised some money. Expo is the best it's ever been, and this round of funding will help us get a lot better. With this money we can go faster on the things that matter: faster builds, smoother native integrations, and better e-2-e DX. Charlie wrote about what's next: expo.dev/blog/what-ex...

Just some good old jumping antics

Expo Router v55 is here, and it makes native navigation UI a first-class part of routing. ♢ New Stack API ♢ Native toolbars, native tabs, dynamic platform colors ♢ Apple zoom transitions, split view Tour + examples: https://expo.dev/blog/expo-router-v55-more-native-navigation-more-powerful-web

The Expo SDK crossed 3MM downloads per week a few days ago.

Our CFP is OPEN 🔥 Chain React 2026 needs speakers who can level up 500+ React Native devs in Portland this July! All you need is a title and a strong idea. It takes 10 minutes to submit. Deadline: March 18. We want to hear from you. 🎤 sessionize.com/chain-react-...

When the Supreme Court allowed immigration agents to consider race during sweeps, Justice Brett Kavanaugh said that citizens shouldn’t be concerned because agents will “promptly let the individual go.” For these Americans, that wasn’t true. (Published Oct. 2025)

It's sort of funny when codex/claude give you time estimates of how long something should take, like 2 weeks, and then does that thing in 25 minutes.

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

This morning, I recorded a video on TikTok about why DHS’s arguments for the power to enter homes without judicial warrants in immigration cases are bunk. Nine hours later, TikTok still says my video is “under review,” and can’t be shared. Well, here’s a link: georgetown.box.com/v/Vladeck-IC...

A nurse. A researcher. A helper.

ICE is straight up executing people for no reason other than to create fear. We have to get it disbanded and prosecute the leadership and its thugs.

Imagine how much they’d be lying about what happened without all the videos showing it from multiple angles.

an administration staffed to the top with degenerate liars

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

I think TestFlight reviews are taking longer than they used to because so many people are using Expo Launch.
