- Is there any experience difference between building mobile apps natively vs. React Native? Whats the recent fight on this, I personally feel that there isn't much difference at this point on the user feeling but curious what others feel. I know @lentilapp.lens is building completely natively, @orbapp.lens is Flutter and @buttrfly.lens is React Native
- These views are icredible!
- Wishing everyone a great start into the week!
The lentil team spent the weekend hiking in the Cape National Park (aka. getting sunburnt even through hats and layers of suncream) - and of course working on our weekly release ๐ค Check your lentil apps for the update!
How did you spent your weekend?
- On a quick coffee break before it's back to work ๐ What's your favorite thing to do to get your energy back up on a long mid-week working day?
P.S: Did you already try sending DMs on lentil? You can write us one and tell us which feature we should prioritize next ๐ฌ

- Introduction to the Lens API
One of the reasons the Lens API is so powerful and flexible is because it uses GraphQL. In this video, I give a brief overview of how you can start using it and testing it out before you even start building your app.
