All of the Expo SDK and tools are open source and free. Many people just use those. We make cloud services that are useful and great but you never have to use them if you don't want to.

Texas is preparing emergency resources for wildfires and floods. The Texas National Guard should be THERE — not in Illinois.

We stand ready to support their return home so they are best positioned for helping Texans respond to any natural disasters.

Abbott activates emergency resources ahead of growing wildfire threat, flood risk in Texas

Almost three years since I helped ship the first VegaOS device on React Native. Awesome to see the progress—and to finally get it into other developers’ hands.

Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.

We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

TikTok’s US operations are changing hands and will be retraining the algo on US-only data. No word yet on whether a new app is needed.
Meanwhile, @skylight.social — the TikTok of the atmosphere — is seeing massive growth this week.
