Hi- Cofounder of Expo here. Was really fun to work with the Repl.it team on this. This came out really well. It's such a good way for novices to learn to make mobile apps.

Can you explain the difference between https://snack.expo.io/ and https://repl.it/languages/react_native ? They both seem like browser based code editing tools to make a react native app. Why the partnership with repl.it? Do they have a larger use base and thus give you visibility?

Hey, I'v used Repl.it a fair amount for Python in the past. Seems like you've built a really nice tool which has lots of languages supported. Out of curiosity, how are you funded?

Was a side project in hibernation that didn't cost anything to run. Around 2015 we revamped the site and added a lot of features which caused us to grow a lot and became too expensive to run and maintain. Quit my job last year and raised a seed round but still try to keep burn rate to a minimum and hope to start making money soon.
