Currently using a similar stack with Expo and it has been great.

There is no substitute for a real REPL and immediate code changes.

have you been able to keep up with expo sdk releases?

I have a cljsrn app still on expo 23 and it's turned into kind of a trainwreck to update. considering dropping expo for vanilla re-natal

Well luckily I started with a version that was not that hard to update as of yet.

I expect it to get harder though but this being a side project I'm not that worried.

detaching from expo and pulling out all the expo bits is pretty tough. you dont know what is needed and what isnt, and you have to find replacements for all your expo handy apis, OTA updates, ios/android standalone builds, and push notifications
