This is the CLAUDE md file I use for new @Expo apps.

Fixing the fundamentals in React Native. All networking should be easy by default when using Expo Router.
New @expo example! Here's how to upload images from your app to an AWS S3 bucket with Expo Router and EAS Hosting github.com/expo/examples/…
You can now use CSS Keyframe animations in React Native! No hooks, just a powerful web-first API 🚀 Animate everything! Expo Go support coming soon 🕙
React Native Reanimated 4 is now stable and ready for production 🐎 Featuring CSS Animations & Transitions, multithreading with React Native Worklets and more.
You know you have a job worth doing if you’re excited to see it automated.
Optimus firefighters will save so many lives in the future.
Create beautiful transitions in your Expo Router app 🚀
new examples in the next version of react-native-screen-transitions. These just showcase the scrollview + gesture based transitions.
Native apps create experiences that feel indistinguishable to magic.
.@base is 10x faster now. Live testing the new speed.
Expo is the most pro-AI native framework. Exciting to see the door open for even more people to get started with app development.
Introducing Rork's June update ・FREE errors fixes ・New powerful Rork Agent inspired by Claude Code ・Early access to Rork iOS app that builds mobile apps ・Redesigned App Store Submit process & more
Imagine your native app is 10x more complex and reloads instantly while still preserving state—that’s Expo.
Man, the native development tooling is so bad. Why does the preview has to reload every time I switch tabs? Am I missing a setting that keeps it open and preserves the state?
Multi-threading in React Native is no longer limited to animations and gestures 🚀
We did it! You can finally use third-party libraries in worklets - with `react-native-worklets`. Jump in the thread to learn more 👇
You can now interactively compare the files that form the native Expo fingerprints to better understand how your OTA updates will work.
Obsessed with deployment speed.
"eas deploy" now has a progress bar (plus a lot of cool internal changes regarding handling large uploads, which are sadly a bit tricky to screenshot) - but hey, progress bar!
This is how I was using Expo 8 years ago
