It's been a year and a half since Expo was named the official framework for React Native. Jon Samp, Head of Product, discusses how this shifted the team's focus to be "more general to a lot more use cases."
He addresses the old perception of Expo as a "hobby app" tool, noting that while the sentiment has faded, it's the result of technical decisions that opened the platform to professional native code. The goal is to ensure developers never hit a roadblock that forces them to migrate.
To celebrate this professional ecosystem, Expo has launched the Expo App Awards. It's a way to showcase that apps built with React Native and Expo are "some of the best apps in the app store."
