React, Expo, Claude synergy
People are discussing how Claude Code, combined with React and Expo, is making mobile app development easier and bridging the gap between web and mobile development.
If you know React you can ship a mobile app. At Expo we've been bringing web and mobile closer and closer for years. But with React + Expo + Claude Code skills the gap is inconsequential. Give it a try and let us know how it goes. We'd love to see what you build.

React is a foundation now. Maybe it was a good idea they built on that. I think we can all agree Claude Code introduced something that changed the world. Maybe React sucks for a TUI but I still build awesome things with it.
