Reviewer scorecard
“EAS Build, OTA updates, and the managed workflow eliminate the worst parts of mobile development. Indispensable.”
“Define schema once, get types and validation. The TypeScript inference is seamless. Essential for any TypeScript project.”
“Expo has matured from toy to production platform. The config plugins and custom dev clients removed the old limitations.”
“The defacto standard for TypeScript validation. Integration with tRPC, React Hook Form, and every major library.”
“Expo is making React Native the default for mobile. Universal apps (web + mobile) from one codebase is the future.”
“Zod standardized TypeScript validation. The ecosystem built around it (tRPC, AI SDK) proves its importance.”
