Has React Native Peaked My Interest?

I recently started to research some on React Native. I've always been interested in the way React works and how it gives you an instant satisfaction or defeat of if your code is working right away. (I don't know why that's always been something I've nerded out on, but it makes me feel a certain way.)

One way I've seen to make react native applications is to use expo (https://expo.io/learn). It sets up the project with all your necessary files and structure to get started with. Then there's always the companion app that allows you to see the app right away on your phone, either iOS or Android. And of course, there's way to see it via a virtual emulator as well.

So what have I started to see with my learning process in this? I need to practice my JavaScript some more is the biggest one. There's so much in it that I don't know, struggle to learn or just don't really remember much on.

Also, I need to keep up my CSS skillset. Yes, I know it's a different way to do CSS inside React, but honestly, to me, it really all comes down the same way.

I also need to really crack down and learn something in this library! I always crave to learn something new and this is a great option to do so.

Do you have much experience with this all? Any tips or suggestions you think I should take under my belt?
