Reviewer scorecard
“EAS Build, OTA updates, and the managed workflow eliminate the worst parts of mobile development. Indispensable.”
“Hasura-powered GraphQL over Postgres with auth and storage. The GraphQL-first approach is powerful for complex data needs.”
“Expo has matured from toy to production platform. The config plugins and custom dev clients removed the old limitations.”
“If you want GraphQL, Nhost is the best BaaS option. Hasura's automatic GraphQL from Postgres is genuinely useful.”
“Expo is making React Native the default for mobile. Universal apps (web + mobile) from one codebase is the future.”
“GraphQL adoption has plateaued. tRPC and REST are simpler for most use cases. Nhost's bet on GraphQL is risky.”
