πŸš€ Galactic News: React Native Snippets, React Compiler, LegendList & Expo Best Practices


Hey Reader,

while Expo SDK 53 is right around the corner, I have some epic React Native Snippets to spice up your apps today πŸš€

React Native is getting better every day, with releases like LegendList or the soon production-ready React Compiler.

All of that means you can build top notch React Native apps, which some people claim isn't possible.

While I keep waiting for Apple Review to finally accept my new App (more on that soon), I'm here whenever you are stuck in the React Native & Expo World!

Happy Coding,
Simon ✌️
