Reviewer scorecard
“EAS Build, OTA updates, and the managed workflow eliminate the worst parts of mobile development. Indispensable.”
“Write server code once, deploy anywhere. The preset system handles platform-specific deployment automatically.”
“Expo has matured from toy to production platform. The config plugins and custom dev clients removed the old limitations.”
“UnJS is building the invisible infrastructure of the JavaScript ecosystem. Nitro's portability is genuinely valuable.”
“Expo is making React Native the default for mobile. Universal apps (web + mobile) from one codebase is the future.”
“Universal server engines that abstract deployment targets are the right foundation for framework-agnostic backends.”
