A couple graphics demos: Basic THREE.js example: https://sketch.expo.io/rkpPMg8ie OpenGL "from scratch" (no wrapper libraries): https://sketch.expo.io/SJaCWirsg
Very nice! I'll shamelessly add a little Game of Life comparison in SVG[1] and REGL[2].

#112Change the name fellas. Sketch is a brand new tool that's about to replace Photoshop for almost all web design work.
Brand new? And no, I don't think so. Sketch is awesome but it isn't a substitute for work that you would do in Photoshop. Unless you were doing wireframes in Photoshop.
Sketch is already used in 60% of all the tech industry, while Photoshop and others sit in the 40%. Sorry.

#113I'd love TypeScript Support.

#114Earlier quoted context omitted.
We think the products are so different that people won't get confused but if it turns out to be a problem, we'll figure something out. Sketch the design tool is great. We use it.
Another vote for prioritizing a name change. Why create continual confusion and awkwardness for the thousands of people who will want to use your product alongside Sketch the design app? (That's me saying this is an awesomely useful project, BTW.) I'm just imagining describing the Sketch/Sketch workflow to a non-technical manager... ;) How about calling it "Expo Studio" or "Expo Easel", which have similar connotation…
"Expo Easel" Sounds really good! Nice job.

Why not just call it React Native Playground? or Expo Playground.

"React Playground" would be a good possibility, too.

Leave the name, our UI team will love the extra ambiguity.

#118Name really needs to change.

Thanks, naming/branding is a bit of a hobby of mine.
One thing about the name, however, that for me now rules it out as a recommendation, is that the two words are not articulated by a consonant; the ending vowel of "Expo" blends into the beginning of "Easel".
An unfortunate pairing, at least to my ear, that when spoken quickly sounds like "Expo Weasel" :)
