🪲 In the "State of React Native" survey each year "debugging" has been the biggest pain point.

That's why @swmansion.com built Radon.

🆕 We've introduced a new, simple, powerful way to play videos in apps. It's called expo-video.

expo-video is replacing the now out-dated Video component of expo-av, and soon expo-audio will replace the Audio component of expo-av, making it fully deprecated.
