Reviewer scorecard
“EAS Build, OTA updates, and the managed workflow eliminate the worst parts of mobile development. Indispensable.”
“Reactive execution eliminates the biggest Jupyter pain point — hidden state. Cells re-run when dependencies change.”
“Expo has matured from toy to production platform. The config plugins and custom dev clients removed the old limitations.”
“Finally, a Python notebook that doesn't produce unreproducible results. The reactive model is correct.”
“Expo is making React Native the default for mobile. Universal apps (web + mobile) from one codebase is the future.”
“Marimo proves that notebooks can be reproducible. The deployment as web apps extends their utility.”
