this looks great! thanks for writing! A couple others that occurred to me:
- introducing maestro e2e tests - these still need work but is a nice milestone on the path to more confidence and less manual QA
- migrated to more secure secrets lib - react-native-keys
- android quality increase - shout out to mobile practice and deciding to prefer Android screenshots and videos in PRs - started year with a 28 day average rating of 4.1 stars, ended with 4.8 stars and a default Google Play rating of 4.4 stars.
- crash rate improvements, will look for hard data on that but something we spent a fair amount of time fixing
Feel free to not include, know we can't include everything just shouting out in case we want to!

| For our main app, Eigen, adding `expo` sdk happened faster than we thought after [Microsoft decided to retire VS App Center](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/appcenter/retirement). We needed an alternative for code-push, and we settled for Expo over-the-air updates. | ||

| Eigen still has a lot of native code blocking us from fully migrating to CNG and sometimes conflicting with Expo. However, our experience from Energy and Palette-mobile has been positive so far and we could imagine CNG in Eigen! We will definitely share more about this if it happens. |

suggestion: Spell out CNG the first time you use it
(I had to look it up 😄 I think it's one of the more obscure acronyms in this post.)

In this Post, I would like to share our wins from the past year in mobile and some ideas that can be useful to other react-native apps.
I will add more links next week for PRs as well.
Please let me know if you think there is something I can improve, it's my first article in the blog.
