Sure thing! My stack for Dark Hacker news is React Native and Expo. Since I've primarily been a web developer and have some React Web experience, React Native made the transition to mobile development a lot more seamless.

From building this a year ago to today, I've learned so much more about React/React Native and in general my technical skills have gotten much better. There are definitely things I can refactor to make more performant that I'd like to do.

I'd also like to make a pass through the code to convert any remaining React class components to functional components using React hooks. I'd also like to update to React Navigation 5 which recently released.

Let me know if you have any technical questions about some aspects of the app and I'd be happy to answer them. Thanks again for the download!

Are you using the managed or bare workflow? I just ejected because IPA size was massive (around 180mbs). Ejecting reduced IPA to around 90mbs and actual app store size was around 9mbs.

I'm still using the managed workflow for the time being. I've considered ejecting to the bare workflow, but haven't made the jump quite yet. Wow that's awesome! At the very least I should try ejecting to see how slim I could get the app size.
