No Xcode, Android Studio, Java, Swift, Objective C - how far can JavaScript get you?
summary
Exponent runs a native JavaScript runtime on top of React Native so apps ship without Java, Swift, Objective‑C or IDEs; a CLI publishes bundles to S3 and an automated builder so exp build Android produces an APK from JavaScript, the bundle uploads in about one minute bundle and stores builds for installs. Native APIs include camera, maps, barcode scanning and push notifications, live reload and URL sharing via tunnels, and a soft‑eject called exponent view for native escape hatches.
