I’m (not) sorry if it makes me a nerd but one of my favorite hobbies is trying out new versions of React Native and Expo while they’re in previews. @frankcalise.dev did a great write up on what’s got us excited about @expo.dev SDK 54.

Infinite Red @infinite.red · Sep 8

Our team put @expo.dev SDK 54 to the test. 🔥

The results:
→ iOS build time cut by 35%
→ Dependencies “just worked” with smarter autolinking

Full review from @frankcalise.dev 👇

See how Expo SDK 54 is making Infinite Red’s process better, faster, and simpler than ever before.

Totally worth trying React Strict DOM for your next app

I honestly have been a bit confused where the ecosystem stands regarding Mobile\Web cross compat - and this post by @coolsoftware.dev (and RNR episodes) cleared some things up!
