I recently moved away from Patreon and built Demos to share my React Native animations. Here’s a quick thread about the tech stack I used 🧵

1/ ✨ Expo as the Framework. It’s no secret: @expo.dev is the best way to develop c̶r̶o̶s̶s̶̵-̵p̶l̶a̶t̶f̶o̶r̶m̶ apps. But choosing it to exclusively build a website might seem like an odd choice. Yep, I wanted to showcase the animations on a website built with Expo. I would make the same choice again, hands down 🙌

3/ 💵 LemonSqueezy for Payments. I live in Italy and taxes in the EU can be a bit of a headache. I'm not here to complain about how high they are, but figuring out how to deal with them when selling globally can be incredibly time-consuming. LemonSqueezy makes the process so much easier.

4/ 😌 Hosting on Vercel (but...) Demos is hosted on @vercel.com, which is absolutely worth the price for me. Vercel is fantastic, but Expo recently announced EAS Hosting, and I'm really excited about it. Most likely, I’ll move Demos to EAS Hosting in the future. 👀
