Expo 2.0 - The fastest way to build an iOS and Android app 📱

Expo enables you to build cross-platform native apps using only JavaScript.

In addition to React Native components, you'll have access to the Expo SDK, a library that provides a wide range of native APIs on iOS and Android. Expo can also manage assets for you, handle push notifications, and build your native binary for submission to the app store.

How did you build a local-first react native app?

I'm curious how people build local-first apps. I don't need full CRDT support, but more just syncing with a "parent" db (both pulling new data and pushing locally created records).
I see tinybase which feels maybe a bit more powerful than what I need (?).

I also see livestore which feels scary to build on something that new.
Is there a non-hack way to use sqllite and sync to a postgres db?
Basically my criteria in order of importance would be:
1. stays out of my way (easy to deploy, migrate, use)
2. has leverage with types (a standard linter tells me I'm blowing up the app with the code I just wrote)
3. stable (I would ideally just learn a "goto" tool and use that on all projects going forward)
