Universal Expo + Next.js App Router Starter

A minimal starter for a universal Expo + Next.js app with their respective app routers.

It's a good starting point if you want to:

• ✅ make use of app-dir file based routing in expo and next.js
• ✅ have a minimal monorepo setup with Typescript but no monorepo tool yet
• ✅ leave all other tech choices for e.g. styling, dbs, component libs, etc. up to you

Usually the result of a frequent exercise where I attempt to recreate aetherspace from scratch using the latest recommended expo + next.js starter from the Expo docs to see whether the setup and config for aetherspace can be simplified. Also handy to notice where issues occur and how to fix them.

Getting Started

npm install

npm run dev

Open http://localhost:3000 with your browser to see your Next.js 14 app on web.

Install and/or open the Expo Go app on your phone and scan the QR code to test your Expo SDK 50 app on mobile.
