Wolt clone, Uniwind v1, Livestream, RN jobs rising & WebGPU power ๐Ÿš€


Hey Reader,

I finally shipped my Wolt-style food delivery app - built entirely with React Native + Expo, and itโ€™s probably one of my most complete projects to date.

๐ŸŽฅ Build a Food Delivery App with React Native

In this 8-hour build, I cover:

  • ๐Ÿงญ Expo Router for structured navigation
  • ๐Ÿ—บ๏ธ Git Workflow with AI Code Review
  • ๐ŸŽž๏ธ Reanimated for slick transitions
  • โš™๏ธ Zustand for state

๐Ÿ‘‰ Watch the video hereโ€‹

I'll also do a livestream this Thursday on building Games with React Native and Godot - join me and let's hang out together ๐Ÿค

And here are this weekโ€™s top community picks:

  • ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ Uniwind v1 - the fastest Tailwind bindings for React Native are officially stable
  • ๐Ÿ“ˆ React Native jobs are trending up - while native iOS/Android roles are declining, RN is gaining ground in startups and new teams
  • ๐ŸŽฎ WebGPU in React Native - Evanโ€™s new template helps you jump into WebGPU + Three.js with ease
  • ๐ŸŒ EAS Hosting deep dive - a great post on why the latest hosting setup is ideal for fullstack Expo apps

Links below - and as always, keep building & keep shipping.
