/case/ - Case Studies

Hot Take: If you're building a mobile app in React Native, don't use Expo. Go w/ bare bones React instead!
Why Expo?
- It's easier to get started, but.
> Mock developer: "Just pick Expo! Everything is handled for ya!"
>> But it adds extra layers of complexity and bloat. Pros:
✅ Faster setup time
✔️ Easier debugging (most issues are in the wrapper)
Why Bare Bones React?
- More control over your app's structure.
> Developer: "I just want to manage my components, not a whole ecosystem."
>> Smaller bundle size and faster performance. Pros:
⭐ Customizable from top-to-bottom
☀️ Better long-term maintainability
Conclusion
For small projects or rapid prototyping? Sure. But for smth serious?
Use bare Bones React Native.
➡ It's the future!
