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.
Both tools are even solidly in the same niche (web design/development)... Sorry but no. No one wants to have to say "Sketch (the design tool)" and "Sketch (the RN tool)" every single time either one comes up.

#122Hi! I worked on this and am happy to answer any questions about it :)
Any ideas? Idea looks very promising. Thanks

#123Hi! I worked on this and am happy to answer any questions about it :)
I just downloaded the iOS client, scanned the QR code on my computer, and the client briefly flashed up what I think matched the sketch's code, then took me to a camera screen displaying 'open up sketch.expo.io and scan the QR code to get started!' Any ideas? Idea looks very promising. Thanks

"Expo Easel" Sounds really good! Nice job.
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" :)
It could also be called Expo Clip. Then can say "clips" to refer to saved scripts.

How else would they do it? QR code seems justified in this case.
Sorry, I should have clarified. I'm not against using QR codes. I just didn't realize that I could close the modal window, and thought that I had to jump through hoops to try out Sketch. Given the amount of crap that can be found on the internet, I have a very low threshold for losing interest. A better approach would have been to remind me later than I can scan a QR code to access the page on my mobile device.
I understand your point though. I suppose they can improve it.

#127Change the name fellas. Sketch is a brand new tool that's about to replace Photoshop for almost all web design work.

#130Here's a fun example of a pretty common UI pattern -- the header transitions into another as you scroll, and the hero image scales / fades depending on scroll position too: https://sketch.expo.io/SyVvB3Hjx -- it uses React Native's native animated driver with ScrollViews :)
There should definitely a list of those, so I started one: https://github.com/Dorian/sketch-reactive-native-apps
