CUA VS solito

Bias: I maintain a fullstack universal app template called CUA that uses Expo/Nextjs/tRPC/Solito/Tamagui.

Most of it is, but there are still parts that arent smooth integrated, such as navigation and authentication, and others that may need separate implementations due to not having a ready-made wrapper. create-universal-app and create-t3-turbo are good starting points.

I'd likely go for a mobile first approach and start with:

create-universal-app : https://github.com/chen-rn/CUA

Which would give me:

Yes, try either:

The official «Tamagui + Solito + Next + Expo Monorepo» starter:

https://github.com/tamagui/tamagui/tree/master/starters/next...

Or the more recent version that builds on that and adds tRPC and authentication (with Clerk):

create-universal-app - https://github.com/chen-rn/CUA

I've been building for the past 3-4 months on the Solito starter repo that uses React Native to build the shared components that are used by both Next.JS for web and Expo for mobile. This theoretically should be harder/longer to build than one of these alone, but easier/shorter than building both separate projects. Has anyone built this kind of monorepo to completion/production before and can share this experience? Am I on the right path and this is a hump during the package configuration phase or would I be better off just using React and constantly maintaining two codebases that have to match feature parity?

I think this is what you are looking for: https://solito.dev/ 😊

We're encountering an issues on the web side while trying to run React Native Skia in NextJS as part of a Solito monorepo. Mobile (Expo) seems to work fine, but the "warning" Skia throws of not finding reanimated is causing Next.js builds to error out with the following error:

I’ve only just started using it but https://solito.dev/ seems to do exactly that.

I found Solito and see that it may perhaps support react-native-macos - does anyone have experience here?

It has become very practical / doable in the recent year or so. In my experience, if you have lot of frontend web experience, the easiest way to ship a RN app is by using Solito [0]. Also check out Nativewind [1] which allows you to style native apps the same way like you would on web. I was able to ship the first version of our app in about 1.5 weeks with this stack. Also checkout Tamagui [2].

[0] - https://solito.dev

Solito 4 - https://github.com/nandorojo/solito/releases/tag/v4.0.0

Another option is the Solito stack which has a single code base for react native and next js. https://solito.dev/

The [Expo docs for NextJS](https://docs.expo.dev/guides/using-nextjs/) recommends @expo/next-adapter, while I have a sense of what [Solito](https://github.com/nandorojo/solito) does as [explained by the author](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1gSWXA3qfw). I'm not fully clear what the difference these two libraries are and whether they can or should be used together.
