Simple by default
summary
Claim: React is static by default so complexity becomes something that scales outward from a simple core, not a constant tax. Concrete tools: Next.js and React Server Components plus server actions, Astro, Expo, and existing server-driven patterns (sqlite migrations for UI) are discussed. Evidence: fewer deep useEffect bugs, simpler logic, and the ability to change tab bars or UI without App Store delays. Built thing: Uploadthing uses S3 to get uploads working in five minutes and mobile support is in progress. Server components replace JSON as the primitive for many mobile UI problems.
