Building apps should be fun, fast, and frictionless—but too often, we get stuck in setup hell. Expo Router, NativeWind, and built-in API routes are changing the game, making React Native development smoother than ever.
In this video, I break down the most productive way to build web & mobile apps today:
✅ File-based navigation—no more manual setup
✅ Server-side API routes inside your project—no separate backend needed
✅ Tailwind-style styling with NativeWind—fast & consistent
✅ One codebase for web and mobile—true cross-platform power
