[@sethmwebi]

Thank you Vadim

[@SuperYoda7]

I love your content! Please could you consider doing a t3 expo App using trpc for the backend, and Clerk for the authentication? I know it's quite niche but I really like the idea of having type safety from client to database.

[@Bianchi77]

Nice video, thanks :)

[@luanamendonca]

for anyone struggling with the style of the question list item, i had to bring back the "asChild" prop of the Link component and change the View child for Pressable. For some reason my style got affected by not adding this, not sure why it worked fine with him

plz do clone of fitness app in react native

[@tanishqava8667]

Element type is invalid: expected a string (for built-in components) or a class/function (for composite components) but got: undefined. You likely forgot to export your component from the file it's defined in, or you might have mixed up default and named imports. help
