Infinite Red has specialized in React Native for 11 years -- building mobile apps on any platform. Now we're moving toward any software development -- building any type of software on any platform. With agentic coding, it no longer makes sense to narrowly focus on one technology stack. We can be effective across a variety of technologies, React Native being one of many. The things that remain the same: - we have great US-based devs, low turnover - we are kind, skilled, helpful, ambitious - we think holistically, not narrowly - we want to be the lowest-stress part of your project - we take our craft seriously - we value quality, rigor, and an engineering approach - we leave things better than we found them - we don't need to be babysat - we work within your systems and build for you - we have opinions, but we don't get stuck on them - we aren't afraid to have hard conversations - we love feedback and use that to to get better - we ask questions first and give opinions after I have so much confidence in my team. Becoming CEO of IR this year and being able to lead them is one of my greatest privileges. If you need help with any software project, please reach out. I want you to hold us to this standard I just laid out above, and I'm excited to work with you!

🖤❤️ RNR 373 ❤️🖤 We're back with another episode of Real Life React Native! This week: Mark Goldstein of Chime shares practical lessons from React Native at scale. From app startup to OS differences, Mark talks with Mazen about it all. Listen 🎧 infinite.red/react-native-ra…

There's a bunch of nuance in Shopify's case that most people will miss, and React Native isn't going anywhere for quite a while, but that's a whole different discussion we can have another day. So, now is probably a good time to remind folks that Infinite Red can build native iOS and Android apps for you too. 😅 We care about building quality mobile apps first and foremost. And my team is absolutely outstanding, based in the US, and some of the kindest, smartest developers you'll ever meet. If this makes you want to switch to native, I have a team and agentic processes for you too. Been building it for a while now. Let's chat! jamon at infinite dot red or DM me.

On Wednesday, Sept 9th, I'll be going live with @13ritta and we'll be talking about how you can make your app more accessible! Britta has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to accessibility, an often overlooked segment in mobile development. Tune in! piped.video/watch?v=uUWkEWHY…

🖤❤️ RNR 372 ❤️🖤 We still can't believe how unbelievably fun Chain React 2026 was! From @expo's keynote to the trend of AI, @GantLaborde joins us to talk about everything he noticed at this year's conference. Listen: infinite.red/react-native-ra…

Warning: Haptics in React Native are easier than you'd think! Our own Darin Wilson picked up Pulsar and used a few of its 150+ presets to build a counter and a Pong game. 🏓 He came back with a blog post that's worth the read. shift.infinite.red/haptics-i…

🖤❤️ RNR 371 ❤️🖤 This week we explain PanResponder! @robinheinze and @coolsoftwaredev unpack how the gesture API works, where it slows down, and why you'll still reach for Gesture Handler. Listen: infinite.red/react-native-ra…

It was extremely difficult to cut through the noise this year and get people to Chain React. With great effort, we got a bit over 300 attendees. But what an amazing conference! I can’t remember the last time I had that many meaningful, deep conversations at a conference. It felt like everyone wanted to hear from others about their perspectives on the industry changes and the future of React Native. There were thoughtful questions and insightful connections. I loved every minute of it.
