Reviewer scorecard
“EAS Build, OTA updates, and the managed workflow eliminate the worst parts of mobile development. Indispensable.”
“Open-source feature flags that you can self-host. SDKs for every language and the evaluation is fast.”
“Expo has matured from toy to production platform. The config plugins and custom dev clients removed the old limitations.”
“80% of LaunchDarkly's features at a fraction of the cost. Self-hosting option means no vendor lock-in.”
“Expo is making React Native the default for mobile. Universal apps (web + mobile) from one codebase is the future.”
“Feature flag infrastructure is becoming commodity. Open-source solutions like Unleash will capture the long tail.”
