React Native Signals, Game Revenue & AI That Finally Works

Published 1 day ago • 1 min read

Hey Reader 🎉

This week’s podcast is a bit of a mixed bag - in the best way.

We start with some ecosystem signals from the JavaScript Rising Stars, then zoom out into what I’ve been building lately, including a few thoughts on my indie game revenue and why AI has finally clicked for me in my daily workflow.

If you’re into React Native, games, or tooling in general - I think you’ll enjoy this one.
