How is this different than React Native?

It's React Native, shipped with batteries included

It ships with additional tooling around building and submitting your app to app stores, running your app while in development on your phone deployed via qr code, and a web based playground for quick prototyping and collaboration with others like a stackblitz type thing. It also comes with a number of apis for accessing the native maps, notifications, camera and gyroscope and other sensors, surface to draw with openGL/Skia and honestly a ton more.

I don't know why you wouldn't use expo if you are using react native. I'd feel like you were missing out on a lot

Thank you. So this is useful if you write your backend in react native? I’ve experience building apps in Android but not in react native. I want to build a react native app for Android and iOS.

Right these are all tools and components for react native.

Have two apps using this in production. It's a clusterfuck. Advise against.
