Built a fun lil' photo app with @expo.dev and gave it some AI editing powers thanks to Gemini 2.0 Flash. Using expo-router + API routes, Galeria & Zeego by @rojo.bsky.social, and the smooth @swmansion.com react-native-reanimated. Stoked to introduce some of the new Expo server stuff next 🚀

We can build apps faster than ever. The bottleneck now is the last mile: getting through app review. I put together a cheat sheet of how long it actually takes to publish to the App Store and Google Play based on what I've seen. Does it match your experience?

Get started with Observe today everybody! We'd love to hear what you think 🚀

Orange, carrot, ginger, and chili – I was skeptical at first, but man… this juice is so good!

EAS Update is more than a way to fix bugs fast. It’s a deployment superpower if you know how to use it. Here are a couple examples from the blog: ◆ Safe Continuous Deployment ◆ Simplifying an already-frequent release schedule ◆ For more frequent releases ◆ Hot-fixes only expo.dev/blog/eas-upd...

It’s happening soon ⏰ Join Callstack and @expo.dev for a live session on migrating React Native Community CLI apps to Expo the right, non-disruptive way. There’s still time to register and join live ➡️ clstk.com/4eZQqbo

React Native is getting faster—and greener—with precompiled packages. 🔧 One build per release instead of one per dev ⚡ RNTester clean builds: 120s → 10s (M4 machines) 🌿 Lower power usage, better battery life 🧩 Easier to add to large brownfield apps More info: expo.dev/blog/precomp...

Legend List is feeling a bit sticky

Long flight ahead - need a good series to binge. Any recommendations?
