Having that in mind, a bunch of folks decided to build a VSCode and Cursor extension that would streamline the development of React Native and Expo applications. That’s how Radon IDE, formerly known as React Native IDE, came to life. In this episode of the React Universe On Air podcast, Ola has invited Krzysztof Magiera, the Director of Engineering at Software Mansion, to talk about Radon IDE and why it can be considered a game-changer for React Native developers. Their conversation revolves around: ## Improving developer velocity with Radon IDE - The challenges of the available React Native tooling, - What made Krzysztof start working on Radon IDE, - How community feedback contributed to what the tool is today, - The key features of Radon IDE, and how they improve developer velocity and productivity. ## More on Radon IDE - [Radon IDE’s website](https://ide.swmansion.com/) - [Radon IDE on GitHub](https://github.com/software-mansion/radon-ide) Insights ## Learn more about Developer Experience Here's everything we published recently on this topic.
