i bitch about it a lot but React Native is awesome. if you’re a native engineer you might feel skeptical, but it isn’t a lowest common denominator crossplatform abstraction. rather, i like to think of it as a scripting orchestration layer for platform views (which you can still write). like in games

trying react native without expo to make a reproducing project and let me tell you, it’s a world of pain

i did not realize how much expo was doing for us
