Reviewer scorecard
“EAS Build, OTA updates, and the managed workflow eliminate the worst parts of mobile development. Indispensable.”
“Remote caching and affected-only testing save enormous CI time. The project graph visualization is invaluable for large repos.”
“Expo has matured from toy to production platform. The config plugins and custom dev clients removed the old limitations.”
“If you have a monorepo with more than 5 projects, Nx pays for itself in CI time savings on day one.”
“Expo is making React Native the default for mobile. Universal apps (web + mobile) from one codebase is the future.”
“Monorepos are winning. Nx and Turborepo are making them practical at any scale.”
