(Full disclosure, I work at incident.io!)

We recently released our On-call product, and as part of that, had to build a mobile app.

We'd noticed there's been some debate recently regarding React Native, and if you can build 'native tier' apps using it. We'd seen a lot of this but as part of an initial hackathon tried Explo / RN / Nativewind and were completely blown away by both the quality of app we could produce and the developer experience that let us do this quickly.

If anyone's in this space / thinking about making a technical decision here I couldn't recommend this stack strongly enough!

It's 'expo', right?

Haven't looked at this stack. Thanks for the suggestion.
