🚀 React Server Components are coming to every platform with Expo Router! To showcase all the new possibilities, I wrote the most powerful demo AI app I could think of—took less than a day to write, and it runs everywhere! Unlike traditional AI apps, which stream plain-text, Expo RSC can server render interactive native views and animations. This is the future of mobile apps.
