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.

Hey Reader - Simon here ๐Ÿ‘‹ Everyone seems to have an opinion about AI and coding right now. Some say itโ€™s making developers worse.Others say you just need to fully embrace it. After spending the last months building apps and even a game mostly with AI, I think both sides are missing something. ๐ŸŽฅ New Video: Does AI make Developers dumb? Iโ€™ve been using AI heavily in my workflow - not just for small tasks, but to actually build real apps and systems. And at some point I noticed something: I...

Hey Reader - Simon here ๐Ÿ‘‹ Last week I spent some time building something slightly different: a Fire TV app with React Native. Not a mobile app.Not a web app. An actual TV app. Itโ€™s funny because React Native has been around for so many years, but most developers still think of it only as a mobile framework. Turns out the ecosystem has expanded quite a bit! ๐ŸŽฅ New Video: I Built a Fire TV App with React Native using Vega OS This week I tried something new: building a Fire TV app using React...

Hey Reader - Simon here ๐Ÿ‘‹ AI app building tools suck, right? That was my assumption until a couple of weeks ago. But things are changing so fast in software dev right now that opinions from three months ago already feel outdated. So with (still) my old mindset, I approached a new tool. ๐ŸŽฅ New Video: This AI Builds Full Appsโ€ฆ Should You Use It? This week I tested Orchids, an AI-powered tool that takes a different approach.
