Expanding the app to user space - Expo Widgets
Your app does not have to live behind a tap. With widgets, you can meet users right where they are - on their home screen - delivering a continuous flow of content without expecting them to open the app.
In this talk, I'll walk through expo-widgets, a library that renders react components as a native widgets on the home screen. I’ll reveal what the library actually does behind the scenes and how you can ship beautiful, but most importantly useful widgets and Live Activities today, without touching the native code.
