Live Dev Session: React Native Styling, OTA, and UI Tools
Tune in to a live session unpacking React Native 0.80, OTA alternatives, AI-generated UIs, styling wars, and some truly wild tech tangents.
Live Dev Session: React Native Styling, OTA, and UI Tools

React Native 0.80 just dropped, so naturally, we poked around, debated OTA tools, tested styling libraries, and tried to make an Instagram clone with an AI.
In this live dev session, Łukasz, Kewin, and Mike dive into:
- React Native’s new “strict” type exports and API changes
- Real-time comparisons of OTA alternatives (Hot Update, DOTA)
- Styling trends from the State of React Native survey
- NativeWind vs. Tailwind vs. hand-coded CSS
- Cursor, V0, Gamma AI, and what they get wrong (and right)
- Why teledildonics somehow came up (yes, that happened)
There’s live coding. There’s dev banter. There’s even a mini-lecture on JS event loops. So, what are you waiting for?
