Hi guys. I'd like to build up a simple mobile app with clojure/clojurescript, but I'm a bit confused about which library to use: I see that some people use re-natal and other people use expo, which are the differences between the two?

the main differences are 1) with expo you can publish your app avoiding market 2) with expo you cannot use libraries with native code by default

Oleh K.13:03:10

and from my own experience: expo is buggy and re-natal just works

There is an option in react native packager to add custom transformer for files. I wonder if I could somehow to use shadow-cljs (or maybe lumo suites better) like a transformer for cljs files. It would be something like this: https://github.com/kristerkari/react-native-css-transformer/blob/master/index.js

@U052TDWT7 I am also using Expo cljs and it works great 🙂

specially for those cases where you dont (cant?) have the full mobile SDK in your machine

only javascript stuff is enough
