If your app feels premium you're going to hold onto users.
That's an easy thing to say and a more difficult thing to do. Which is why we've started gathering all the best, more beautiful open source demos from our community.
Talented people like @reactiive_, @hewad_mubariz, @_philpl, @nater02, @S0LARIN, @rit3zh, @iamarunabh are sharing their code on this page: expo.dev/demos
Check it out and let us know who's work we need to add to the page.
Charts should make you feel something: Momentum coloring flips the line's color live. Degen mode adds particle bursts and screen shake on big swings 🫨
One sprite, rasterized once, transformed per particle in a cheap single Skia drawAtlas call. Thx 🙏 @alireza_hadjar

What if a newspaper app had real paper? 🗞️
Just built this React Native app where the pages behave like real paper:
- Scroll too far: it stretches and crumples
- Swipe: the paper warps and crumples under your finger
- Bad article? Tear the corner, crumple it into a ball… and yeet it 🗑️
All at 60fps on the UI thread. Pure real-time Skia shaders + hand-rolled 3D mesh with Reanimated.
This was stupidly fun to build.
Repo in the replies!
Recreating other apps' charts is the best feature discovery I know. Every rebuild surfaces something I hadn't thought of.
I rebuilt Robinhood, Kraken and Backpack with react-native-livechart.
Robinhood: a static day chart, the segment under your finger lights up as you scrub.
Week 9 of showing what you can do with react-native-effects & WebGPU:
Hook a shader to the gyroscope and your screen reacts to the physical world 🌈
Follow for a new effect every week 👇
Fable is absurdly good at building @expo apps.
In a day, I built Amber. A place to save almost anything and let AI organize it all for you.
Built on Expo + Convex + Clerk + AI SDK.
Telegram-styled global search + more menu polish in React Native.

• react native @expo 56

Loved how @boltapp bottom sheet collapses on the home screen, so I recreated it in React Native. Three snap points, drag-linked fades, the search bar riding up under the handle all Reanimated + Expo.
