Make it simple but filled with value propositions. Add multiple calls to action - most importantly, it must be accessible.

⚡ Weekly RN Tip [#1] - When using React-Navigation, stick to the native-stack. Only use the non-native stack if you really need the customization it provides, otherwise you're losing performance!

Interesting quote from @garyvee.com / Crushing it (2018)
I guess this is still accurate, right?
