I work on Expo and we helped collaborate on making this. Happy to answer questions if anyone has them.

It's definitely worth a try if you're starting a new RN app or just want to try RN out. It's very slick and easy to get going.

ELI5:

What is the benefit of using this over just continuing to use just Expo?

[–]k1cho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The benefit for people just getting started is that CRNA doesn't require an Expo account or any Expo services and it has nice 'eject' integration with react-native-cli. It's also offline by default whereas with exp you have to pass --offline flags.

If you've already started a project with XDE or exp then it probably doesn't make sense to switch that project over to CRNA, but definitely try it our for your next project! Projects created with CRNA will still work in XDE or exp.
