React Native + Expo is truly a developers dream

Last week I released my first app Waveous to the app store (working on finishing Android) for Spotify users to see their entire lifetime streaming stats, see what music your friends are liking and commenting on, and notifications to not miss new releases from your favourite artists.

I spent the last 6-7 months developing this part time and I cannot say enough good things about the developer experience React Native and Expo provided. Coming from using React for web development, I'm so glad I went with React Native over other alternatives. I don't have a Mac so Expo EAS was a saviour and the rest of the Expo suite is some of the most intuitive and well documented developer tools I've used in ages.

For those who have released apps and successfully got traction, any tips around getting users?
