πŸš€ Galactic News: New Apps, App Review & Expo Widgets

Published 4 months agoΒ β€’Β 1 min read

Hey Reader,

I'm fired up about building React Native apps right now πŸ”₯

After migrating my calorie tracker, I just released a new task manager.

Why?

Because building apps with Expo is fun 😍

(And I want to get some XP building & shipping actual apps)

That's also why the new video is a review of some epic React Native apps and things you can build.

Things will slow down over here now, and I hope you'll have a great Holiday Season. Thanks for all your support this year, trust me when I say next year will be even better.

I will come back with a BIG announcement soon!

Happy Coding,
Simon✌️
