Im so excited for this. So many things I've been trying to learn in one Video.Awesome .

[@damonturner1554]

thanks for a great live-stream tutorial ... it's the first time I've seen your videos, and this one really makes the "under the hood" happenings of expo-router simple and easy to understand (especially where you changed Stack to Slot and Tabs in the _layout.js file) I'm very much looking forward to more of your tutorials! thanks again :D :P

Thank you for your appreciation! 🙌 We are still thinking if there's going to be a part 3

[@mijo3409]

Thanks for this video, it gave me an idea for an app! I plan to make it for the next 3 months.

[@notjustdev]

That's great to hear! Good luck 🙌🚀

[@sagedev]

It was one of the best explanations I've seen on the internet. Thank you very much. God let him open the way.

[@notjustdev]

Thanks for your appreciation 🙌🚀

[@AnthonyPietropaolo-kx6fb]

This video came at the perfect time - just what I needed to get back on track with my fitness goals

[@empyrerhomann6743]

Hey Vadim, thanks for this awesome tutorial. I followed along and unfrotunately, I think Stepzen behaves in a funny way, at least for me. I was not able to create an account to even try it out therefore I went the hard way :) I had to build my my own API server to convert api-ninjas REST endpoints to GraphQL (got me learning GraphQL at least so not bad), but then also had to host it and get a SSL certificate to make it HTTPS since Android API 34 doesn't support http connection even during local development

[@CarlosCostaCarvalho]

great video as always... idea: now a video creating a Tabata app that can be setup using time and/or distance! With distance we can cover the use of GPS, and also the app could speak, like "half way to finish" or something like that. Using react native, expo, supabase :D thanks for the video!!!

[@notjustdev]

Thanks for the idea! 💡 Share it on our Idea Board and we'll consider it: github.com/orgs/notJust-dev/discussions

I love you man... 🔥

Please reveal the date or publish it ASAP because we want to be hero of React Native 😁

I cannot get to IBM StepZen. When I click to create an account, it takes me to IBM API Connect. The account I create there will not work when trying to login to StepZen CLI. No matter what I enter at "stepzen login" it returns an error.😒

[@scientifichuman5902]

Thank you for your efforts 😘This is not completed yet, right? The one in the presentation has a tracker in it. Please clarify.

[@notjustdev]

Today we published part 2, with a complete tracker features

[@gudduagrawal8523]

[@notjustdev]

So you managed to solve it?

[@Mahdi-rw1px]

[@robintillotson-tv2ri]

I run npm start, I have Xcode installed. Terminal says I need Xcode installed completely for it to continue. As far as I know, it is completely installed. Newest version. The works. What am I missing? Yes, I'm 9 minutes into the video hahahahah.

[@krishshah2867]

Did anybody else face errors while executing stepzen import curl command? If yes then please help me resolve it

[@BibleVoiceEnglish]

If python uses other libraries such as opencv then how can it synchronize in the android studio project?

[@TylerDerby]

ARE U RETARDED?

Hey irs off unless it off

[@BulamuNet]

Nice nice nice

[@BLBADVENTURES]

[@user-ub8rn3mh5f]

[@plfmoura]

why not Typescript?

[@notjustdev]

To keep it beginner friendly. If you feel comfortable with TS, go for it 🙌

[@HusamAlzain]

I wish you haven't used IBM StepZen, IBM ruiend it.

[@notjustdev]

Why do you think so?

[@HusamAlzain]

​@@notjustdev I can't every login to StepZen account, when I do so, I redicrets me to IBM's page, and I never could login to StepZen. Really awful. Also, I have used IBM Watson, and it has tons of problems, and many people are asking them to solve it, but no response..

[@frq9293]

@@HusamAlzain Ya same here. No matter what I do I can't seem to get to the dashboard..

[@HusamAlzain]

@@frq9293 Exactly the same.
