Big facts

I’m a bit of a plane spotter and it was fun being here in time to spot the only 787 to fly from PDX 🤩

App JS 2026?! 😃

Of course this only applies to my solo trips. If I’m traveling with my kids the answer is somewhat different 😂

Bonus:

I’m not stressed about getting there on time or getting through security.

I am an unapologetic early to the airport person.

My flight is in 5 hours. I am packed and ready. I could

A) sit at home and kill time, or
B) go to the nicest airport in the country (PDX), find a comfy spot where I can see planes and people, get some good food, and read or work.

No brainer.

Everyone thank @mazenchami.dev for his sacrifice for this meme

Tall man is sitting in a small roller coaster car. Man is labeled "redux" and the car is labeled "my hobby app side project with two screens".

As a React Native company, we’ve seen firsthand just how incredible this community is.

From hosting the US React Native Conf to building open source tools and watching RN transform businesses — one thing’s clear:

React Native isn’t going anywhere.

Here’s to 10 more years! 🎉🎉
