🚀 Galactic News: Expo Router Tabs, New Course & AppJS

Published 2 days ago • 1 min read

Hey Reader,

I'm continuing my quest to cover some React Native Essentials with the new video about Tabs with Expo Router this week.

Last week I also shipped a new course on Galaxies that covers the changes of Expo Router 5 including RSC 🚀

While I still recover from GI pain and some rough days, I'm watching up on the AppJS talks - which was your favorite?

Keep building awesome apps,
Simon ✌️

✨ React Native Tabs with Expo Router

Quickly understand how to use and customize the React Navigation Bottom Tab Bar for easy tabs in your app with Expo Router. Style Tabs, use blurry backgrounds, Haptic feedback or even unstyled Tabs from Expo Router - everything covered in this new React Native Essential!

👉 Watch the new video​

✨ Reanimated 4 Beta, LiveStore, DevTools & Expo Router Course

While the AppJS is/was about to kick off, we talk about some cool new packages and updates around Reanimated and a new solution for local-first apps!

👉 Listen to the Podcast​
👉 Watch on YouTube​

💫 Nebula Notes

  1. ​AppJS Day 1 and Day2 Live stream (Video)
    Missed the AppJS? No problem, you can watch both days with all talks on YouTube again.
  2. ​FlashList 2 First Release Candidate (Release)
    Already hinted at a ne version of FlashList some weeks ago and the first RC is here - keep an eye on this!
  3. ​New React Native Debugging tool? (Tweet)
    I tried a new debugging tool and this tweet kinda blew up - have you tried it yet?

Hey Reader, it's time for another huge tutorial, probably the biggest and most comprehensive one up until today 😱 In my new video, I show you everything to build your own AI Caption Editor with Convex, ElevenLabs and Expo! Learn to use some of the hottest technologies, but also foundational skills regarding Expo Router or DOM components. All in one build.
