Looks like Expo EAS Workflows

Just bundling JS takes me more than 4 min 😂

I didn’t! That’s one of the reasons I want to go this year.

Is anyone from the React Native world going to React Miami?

I keep struggling with these:
- I don’t want Christmas songs in March
- Songs I like to play when working are not the same songs I want to play when commuting

That must be the same issue I have. I’m glad you are solving it!

I’m more impressed by the implementation than the recommendations 😂. Nice work!

Introducing a new React Native Framework for Enterprise apps. ✨

Built around native build reuse, incremental adoption and self-hosting at your own infra.

Because the best build is no build.

Hop on the wait list ⬇️

Posting in 🦋 as well 🙂

I’m looking for people in the React Native DevX world that want to share ideas on how they have improved the DevX at mid/large companies. It could be from caching native builds to using AI to suggest commits that introduce regressions.

I’m happy to meet (virtual) and chat!

After years of frontend mobile work, (temporarily) touching go services, aws resources and networks is such a humbling experience. I’m glad Cursor exists.

Ever wondered what happens during an Expo pre-build? 🪄Gabriela from Theodo breaks it down for us here.

Expo’s Continuous Native Generation (CNG) for beginners

Ever stared at your terminal running expo prebuild and thought 'what sorcery is this?' 🤔 Been there!

As a kid I was very frustrated when I first tried Xcode and couldn’t do anything except adding UIKit components that I didn’t know how to connect.

It wasn’t until I tried React Native that I started playing with Obj-C again to connect native modules.

@kzzzf.bsky.social I just tested Radon v0.0.22 on one of our playgrounds and it’s been great so far!
I’m really excited to introduce this one to the rest of the apps.

Will do! By extensibility I mean that we can add our own tabs or features in the same tool. E.g. Control our experiments, make storage operations, inspect gql operations.

Congrats Jamon!

Great. Thanks! Yeah we also have our own service which brings other benefits as well. We can send custom headers to identify the client and target the ota to certain people.

We are considering daily deploys through expo updates, but it’s delicate since any native change would block the release.

Oh, I see it is enabled in github.com/bluesky-soci....

I would love to know if it’s only for hotfixes!

Is Bluesky using Expo Updates? If it is, is it exclusively for hotfixes?
