New podcast, AI-native dev, Godot games & Flutter in Expo? 🎮


Hey Reader,

Thinking about trying something new…

What do you think about me doing a casual livestream again soon? Could be app reviews, building something small, or just hanging out and answering your questions.

Let me know - just hit reply 🙌

In this week’s podcast, I covered:

🎙️ Expo MCP, MMKV, Godot Games, Flutter Support & React Native Package Confusion

I talk about:

  • What exactly is Expo MCP and how it could power your next AI workflow
  • The MMKV v4 release with Nitro Modules
  • Confusion around React Native packages
  • Flutter Web + Expo Launch?!
  • And how Godot devs are approaching cross-platform games

💫 Nebula Notes

  1. The new Expo MCP Server (Announcement)
    Everyone is talking about MCP, so Expo devs deserve their own server with some cool features for AI assistants.
  2. React Native Godot Wrapper (Library)
    With the new Godot wrapper you can bring your (vibe coded) games right into a React Native container to ship a mobile game.
  3. Customizable Onboarding Component (Release)
    Onboarding is super important and super boring - that's why this new component helps to make it a lot easier.
  4. Ship Flutter with Expo (Tweet)
    Cedric shipped a Flutter web app with Expo Launch in 2 min - will there be more Flutter support in the future? It's spooky.
