Turning 35 today! 🥳 Feeling great—healthier, happier, and more productive than ever. Freelancing with React Native @expo.dev wasn’t the plan, but it’s turned out to be a pretty good path to freedom.

Clean routes, easy modals, and zero headaches ✨ @expo.dev router is such a joy to work with.

First subscribers after yesterday’s launch—already going strong at $10 MRR! 😁 Most heartwarming moment? ❤️ My mum becoming the very first Roamwise customer, tracking her & dad's nomad adventure across Europe. Indie dev milestone unlocked! ✅ #indiedev #buildinpublic

Working on the sleekest Schengen tool you’ve ever seen. Schengen rules are a mess — but this app makes them make sense at a glance. Coming to Roamwise tomorrow. #reactnative #ux #indiedev

Skipped Figma 🚨 Went straight from wireframe to real UI — all in code with Expo & NativeWind Designing in code feels more honest. Faster feedback, fewer steps, and everything clicks better. @roamwise.app is built this way from day one.

Remember when WeBurn was headlining the App Store? Yeah, I built that — with React Native, from scratch, as a solo founder 🚀 Featured. Scaled. Sold. Time to do it again.

If your React Native / @expo.dev builds suddenly started failing today, you’re probably on Xcode 16.3. It’s a known issue — downgrading to Xcode 16.2 is the current workaround. Details + steps here: github.com/facebook/rea...

Built a fun lil' photo app with @expo.dev and gave it some AI editing powers thanks to Gemini 2.0 Flash. Using expo-router + API routes, Galeria & Zeego by @rojo.bsky.social, and the smooth @swmansion.com react-native-reanimated. Stoked to introduce some of the new Expo server stuff next 🚀
