Rosebud, a personal growth journaling app, shares how choosing Expo over traditional native development became a core business strategy. With just three engineers and under 12 months of runway, the team shipped a fully-featured iOS and Android app in five months, sharing 70% of business logic across platforms. The decision enabled faster time to market, over-the-air updates, $20K revenue within 14 days of launch, and ultimately helped raise $6M. The post highlights engineering efficiency, developer satisfaction, and retention benefits as compounding business advantages of the Expo framework.
