🚀 I built a Wolt-style food delivery app with React Native - from UI to maps to checkout flow.

This is one of my most complete apps yet - including a full Git Workflow 🔥

Built with @Expo.dev, @coderabbitai.bsky.social AI Reviews, Reanimated, @Sentry.io and more.

I think I'm finally taking on a new pet project and work on a mobile game.

I always wanted this.

It's financially probably a bad idea. Also time wise.

But since I was I child I wanted to be a game dev.

And maybe 2026 is the year it finally happens.

Working on a sneaky app builder tool with InstantDB backend 👀

Anyone already worked with Instant?

TIL You can actually debug a production React Native iOS app using the console app and find helpful logs!

Looks like Uniwind is going to be a great solution for Tailwind in React Native 🔥

Might do livestreams again more often - any topics you'd like to see?

Kinda want to keep it easy, maybe just try out new stuff and talk with you so no big show or prep, just raw stuff ✌️

Discovered a new API testing tool and love the simplicity.

Just my calls, and a well formatted response 😍

If you want to get away from Postman or Insomnia, check out Yaak for a great alternative 🔥

This is how you can have platform specific code with Expo Router in your app folder 👇

Didn't know how easy it is to get LLMs return perfect structured data 😱

Just use useObject() from the Vercel AI SDK and let Zod do the work 💪

Anyone interested in a video about the new React Native IAP package?

Looks solid to me, although I'm usually a big fan of using RevenueCat

This is the package btw

Expo Router has been such a game-changer for me.

It's still incredible to see how fast I can go from nothing to an app with nested drawer and tabs 😱

I don't think I can ever go back to a different way of routing...

If you are not using it - why? What's stopping you?

It was almost too easy to include 3d files with Filament from @margelo_io in my next React Native clone 😎

🔥 React Native just dropped 0.80.
WWDC brought surprises for mobile devs.
And there’s a free alternative to EAS 👀
