building cool stuff @expo 𝝠

Canada
Fable is absurdly good at building @expo apps. In a day, I built Amber. A place to save almost anything and let AI organize it all for you. Built on Expo + Convex + Clerk + AI SDK.

Xcode 27 removed Simulator.app, and we know that pressing πš’ in Expo CLI stopped working for a lot of you. It works again now. We also put your simulators in a browser tab.

React Native isn't about applying code to each platform, it's about how many decisions you need to manage. Past the demo, abstractions like Expo Router and React itself earn their place by shrinking your total product concerns and surface area for mistakes. And, OTA.
After building a completely working iOS app with Codex last night it’s pretty clear that there’s absolutely no reason to use React Native anymore in 2026

It’s an @expo app too 🀠
we brought copy and paste into real life. introducing scale. scan real objects with your phone, or browse online listings. drop them into VR with actual dimensions, and redesign your new world with an agent layer.Β  then walk through your new world at 1:1 scale.

you'll never guess what Dave's Hot Chicken app is built with...
JUST IN: Meta's Muse loses its #1 spot on the Apple App Store after a month at the top, dethroned by the Dave's Hot Chicken app.

what's the easiest way to make a stranger smile? (besides showing them cat pics) Offering to take pictures for them. All it takes is 10 seconds and a little bit of courage. Then boom, you've given them a memory to relive forever. I've been doing it for over 1.5 years but i wanted to take things to a whole new level of "chalantness" during @HackTheNorth where we (@Expo) were one of the sponsors. So in a span of 36 hrs, we took 462 (7.1GB) pics of hackers who were too locked in to take their own (check last pic for proof) In parallel, we also gave out 100s of duck & sprout clips and that's where things got interesting... The more ducks we gave out, the more people came to the booth asking for one. It created this network effect because everyone wanted to be part of the "cult" that had one Sure, we could have gotten the swaggiest of swags. But is that what makes a hackathon memorable? Or is it the little things that emit sparks of joy and bring people together? You already know what my answer is but it doesn't matter, because at the hackathon we're hosting with @Georgian_io, we're giving out both. the swaggiest of swags/prizes AND the littlest of little things! We're partnering up with other cool people from @AnthropicAI @GoogleStartups @clerk @SurrealDB @Eon_io_ & TAPNET to bring this to life hope to see you there ;) lu.ma/build-north P.S. I vlogged the whole experience at HTN but idk if i should post it or not. drop a "vlog" if you'd like to see it

We're ready for the Duo. SDK 58 brings expo-hinge for live hinge angle and fold state, plus Expo UI's new ArrangementView for native layouts that adapt as you fold.

Apple recently added an option to add a page header. You can use video or images to express your brand, seasonal offerings, new content, etc. This one is a header, people see it once they navigate to your app's details screen πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡

Last week to sign up for Build North 🍁 If you've got a sweet idea you've been wanting to build, this is a great chance to make it happen. Plus, there's $20K+ in prizes and a chance to demo live in Toronto! Hope to see some of you there!
