This week we talk to Dan Stepanov, a maintainer of NativeWind, the author of NativeWind UI. NativeWind is tailwind CSS for React Native, a seemingly simple way to build UI that has lots of challenges to build. On top of that he's building NativeWind UI, a component library that leverages NativeWind to build native like experiences. We also talk about the challenges of making money on top of open source.
