i’ve been trying material 3 expressive, but i’m still not a fan. not sure if it’s because of the color palette or because i’m too used to ios design language 🤔

not able to find one beautiful one from the list: 9to5google.com/2025/10/30/g...

I hope AI can verify the generated code itself without human back-and-forth. that’s how Expo MCP server began, and I’m excited to see more interesting ideas built on top of it.
ATTN Developers: your AI assistant just got smarter.

The new 𝝠 Expo MCP Server connects it directly to your Expo project so it can learn your SDK, fetch docs, automate installs, and test your app visually.

Available now for all EAS paid plans (SDK 54+).

Now that I’ve used pre compiled React Native on the Expo SDK 54 beta, I find myself very impatient with any project still building RN from source lol.

Spoiled so fast.

what does memory mean for ai?
for large language models, it still mostly feels like language and text.
but the kind of “experience” that turns a junior dev into a senior one—built over time, through mistakes—often can’t be captured in just words.

I didn't build this, but I am a frequent contributor of adjectives to put in front of EAS Update terminology (see also "fuzzy runtime"). Soft fingerprinting was one of those very organic outputs of the continuous dialogue between our team and those using Updates at scale. Excited for this!

After 4 years of work, I'm incredibly excited to introduce LiveStore, the next-gen data layer I'm building for Overtone.

It's based on reactive SQLite and has a built-in sync engine. Give it a try - would love your feedback!

will bring a few @expo.dev coasters there. excited to meet the community tonight.

AI programmer agents or whatever won’t work if they need people to actually review pull requests to land code safely.

The secret is no one actually reviews pull requests. And no one really wants to. Reviews are an mostly an illusion so we look productive and responsible.

Debugging in React Native got easier today.

We now have an official integration with @sentry.io so you can see errors and replays directly in your EAS Deployments.

No more digging through logs or guessing at app state.

trying to act as a prompt engineer wasn’t so fun. the models have been unpredictable in different ways.
think positive — it also brings more possibilities and new ideas.

me dealing with swift protocol associated type is pretty much like c++ template deduction.

last week was rough, my lack of swift skills kept me hitting walls and staying up too late. with DST starting, I hope to adjust my schedule and fully appreciate the power of protocol-oriented programming
