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 😎

I think RSC and API Routes with @expo Router are underrated.

TIL you can have the React Native tab bar on the side and it looks better than expected 😱

Did you know this?

Great option especially if you target web as well, just add a Dimensions check!

Also using tabBarVariant: 'material' here which gives the Android look.
