" summary

Exponent rewrites two iPhone-only products — Brighten and The List App — in pure JavaScript on React Native and ships working Android builds that match native UX: an image gallery with off-thread zoom animation, an infinite feed scrolling at 60 FPS with zero scroll jank, and native-feeling gestures on a Nexus 5X. Development uses continuous deployment / code-push workflows, custom native modules, and forks to add features so production-quality mobile apps actually land.
