We had a holiday in the 🇺🇸 so we're coming at you on Tuesday this week. For everyone in the States, I hope you had a good long weekend to spend time with family or side projects. We spent ours working on a web React project that may interest NYC beer aficionados 🍻 and trying things out in ARKit with Swift.
We'd also like to announce that we're moving to a mostly bi-weekly schedule with React Native Coach. It's a better pace while working on more projects ourself and better fits the content being produced in the space.
