That’s a fundamental problem design within Flutter, every time there’s a major change in the native design systems, they have to reimplement it. That’s crazy 😬

I'm trying to make the fastest Mac app you've ever seen. So of course I'm building it in javascript with React Native.

It'll be an app for managing Github issues, PRs, discussions.

"If you're a startup or Fortune 100, React Native is the go-to way to build a scalable app that shares code across platforms." – @gantlaborde.com

Here's why Lynx isn't changing that equation. πŸ‘‡

Let's make Android development in React Native great and fun again.

This is the official native Material 3 carousel composable rendered using @expo native views.

The result is a simple-to-use React component with all native behavior (gestures and transitions) built in.

There’s a way to help contributing with native UI or modules on unreleased expo libraries? πŸ‘€
