Curious what Callstack’s devs get into when they click around with no script? This session has it all: canvas graphics, AI app builders, Skia experiments, and a pizza with programmable pepperoni.

Join Łukasz, Mike, and Kewin for a laid-back, tech-deep session where curiosity leads the way. They test out:

Skia for building UI with real-time canvas rendering
Expo’s new AI app generator (yes, it makes Tic Tac Toe)
NativeWind for styling speed
Nitro Modules for native performance

Plus, they riff on everything from Tailwind quirks and RI buffers to open source licensing and random React Native insights.

We support teams building scalable apps with React and React Native.
