# Build it Once with Expo for Web
Using Expo you can build an app that runs natively for iOS, Android, and web. See how Expo and React Native for web enable you to use cutting-edge browser functionality to create progressive web apps that emulate the functionality of your native app as closely as possible. You’ll also learn what you can do with it, why you would use it, and how it works with other popular web development tools.

Great talk! I hope more people find out that they can do this. Also worth noting that even if you don’t use Expo you get the benefits of the Expo team work because they made pull requests adding web support to a lot of popular react native packages. :)

This is kind of a game changer for app development in general. Great work!

you mentioned desktop...I'm sold!!!!

Great talk !! I am pushing hard at my work to use this, I am using myself in my spare time. We all know the problems of maintaining multiple code bases: More bugs, different bugs in each platform, ios and android devs do not share knowledge between each other. I think this probably will be the tool for the future of writing software to any platform, same as Java was in the 80, 90 and probably today we are still running Java without even knowing about it, in the future, it will be Expo.

That was great. simple and informative.

[giovanedeloredo]

Thanks for it! I really think Expo is going to be a major competitor for Flutter.

[Baconbrix]

Rumor has it he makes apps run everywhere because he can’t run anywhere

[EddieKMusic]

Dude's way too excited. Still helped me out, though. Thanks for uploading

[chrisvouga]

Good talk. I hate when speakers make gross sound into the mic

Any step by step deployment on Azure for Expo for Web?

[ryanrayworld]

How can I deploy expo for web in Azure? I have tried deploying it using azure tools on my VS code by creating app on my azure subscription but after deployment with no error it just showed a loading white web browser. Expo docs doesn’t have good info on deployment. It just say do expo build web and now what?

[GioLogist]

Any links to the codebase(s) for the demos ran? IE: ExpoGram, FlappyBird, Doodle Jump.

[aldrinjenson]

This is so awesome...
The only complaint I have is of the immense size of an APK built with expo.

[alvinyim]

One of the best things created ever. This makes the already notorious Xcode even more stupid

[conchitalie]

Cool talk but I don't know, I've read that you're canceled. I think it was on a twitter wall or something :P

[zlackbiro]

Expo is pure bullshit. Things that works on expo doesnt work when we build the app to standalone! Btw, expo "hello world" app takes 55MB! Push api doesnt work also! In one day of expo, i can write whole page of expo failures!
