react-native-web-plus-expo-is-wrong-architecture-for-pwa

Using React Native + Expo rendered as a web app via react-native-web + Metro is a structural anti-pattern for PWAs — it produces worst-of-both-worlds: 50+ Expo dependencies, 434KB+ lockfile, slower bundle than native web stacks, no real PWA primitives. PWAs should use Next.js, Remix, or SvelteKit, not a React Native scaffold. This pattern is easy to fall into when forking an existing RN project for web use.
