The title is confusing me a bit. This is writing/deploying react native apps in a browser, right? As opposed to running them in a browser.
Hi- Cofounder of Expo here. Was really fun to work with the Repl.it team on this. This came out really well. It's such a good way for novices to learn to make mobile apps.
But can I render my React Native for Web app in an in-app webview, on Repl.it?

FYI - I just released this:
Dynamic, Responsive Layout for Universal and Orientation-Aware React Native Apps (works in Expo, XCode et al): Flexbox-based layout library that makes building Universal layouts in React Native more fun and much easier than using Flexbox and JS directly.

Is it possible to support creating and deploying Minecraft server mods using repl.it?
At one point (2-3 years ago) my son was interested in doing this but the pain of installing Java, an IDE (NetBeans), getting started in Java programming and deploying it on a vanilla Minecraft server was just too much.
Or are there better options now for Minecraft server mod programming?
I would prefer not to create an account to learn something... any chance this will change?
nevermind; found the anonymous option. Thanks!
how does repl.it compare with expo's snack (snack.expo.io)?
It's a good tool, but how does it compare with: https://github.com/decosoftware/deco-ide
It seems that it also renders react native and has better features around styling.
Is it possible to structure a project inside repl.it? I mean I have a small React project and wanted to replicated it in your IDE/repl
Repl.it should be in every school in America! We need more innovation like this! #Amjad4president
I really want to learn React Native and this looks like a fantastic tool. Does anyone have any documentation that easily explain design patterns in RN? Does all code live in 1 file?
This is awesome!
It's always great when people leave Facebook (react native team) and create amazing products to improve the world!
how do you make money?
Like very good products
Hey, ceo/cofounder of Repl.it here. Was pleasantly surprised to see this on HN! React Native and Expo has taken the world of mobile development by storm and we're happy to play a part in spreading this amazing technology.
Many of you might know us from being one of first in-browser REPLs (for 30+ programming languages https://repl.it/languages). Our mission is to make programming more accessible and that's why, more recently, we've been also working on tools for educators wanting to teach programming. Our Classroom product (https://repl.it/classrooms) makes it easy for anyone to teach programming online and in physical classrooms.
Happy to answer any questions.
